#2 ^ Exactly. Slap tariffs on China and then let good old American entrepreneurs do their thing. Won't cost the taxpayers a single penny.

#7 I've got this feeling that much of the money will be siphoned off to re-elect party cronies and rig elections to make this happen. Trump's America first polices were working until Covid-19 hit across the world.
