“President Trump and his base have accurately assessed that the US economic situation is in decline. But they have come to the wrong conclusion about that decline. Our decline is not due to competition but to a lack of competition. Much of that lack of competition comes from laws and regulations that create barriers to entry, coupled with an enormous growth of government that deprives the free market of the resources to grow around those barriers to entry. Tariffs will make the problem worse, not better.” (03/12/25)
