so when I was Bush's economic adviser I was the only one against the steel tffs it's amazing to talk about this but business people around the table in senior positions and even some economists whose names I won't mention didn't give the president a hard time I gave him a very hard time and very ineffectively so what I told him was um you know the tariffs are bad because they you know you think you're protecting steel jobs but of course Steel's just an input and so think of all the other jobs I showed him a map of job losses around the country and then I showed him a picture of a declining share of a particular industry in the labor force and he said yes that's the manufacturing I want to protect and I said Mr President I just showed you agriculture 1900 to 1940 I just didn't label the chart you want to put him back on the farm he told me I intellectually won the he said I your comments were the best but I'm not going to do it and I said why and he said because you didn't tell me how to help those people
