Of course this sub is going to hate this because California, but the creed of Libertarianism and Conservatism is small government and less federal oversight.

You want your states to negotiate fair trade agreements.

So take the tariff power away from the president and give it to the states? Corporate taxes are already like this. That is why all american companies pay the lowest taxes in delaware

[u/Cheebasaur → u/Win8869]

I said nothing of the sort. If you want small government then dont enforce federal tariffs and allow states to negotiate trade with other countries. States are small unions anyways held together by a federal oversight for unalienable rights. The republicans just dont want people to believe they're just as much a part of the racket as democrats are.

Yeah democrats and republicans are all the same and only serve the billionaires. The united states and europe are the same as in every american state is like it’s own country and every european country is like a state in the European union

No i didn’t say you said that but would that be a good idea?

[u/Cheebasaur → u/Win8869]

Gotcha. I cant begin to say what would be a GOOD idea. The reality is, economic policies take time to reflect in global markets.

401Ks and stock markets go up and down in cyclical patterns, its just natural. That being said I do think federal regulation on markets is a slippery slope. You should allow trade agreements and domestic policy to reflect the support of American industry, not just blanket tariffs like the trump administration has enacted.

I agree with you
