<div>Protectionism is a good thing. As long as it follows the simple rules we have learned since the Roman eras.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Never use it to protect those in power, only to protect the welfare of the people in general not a specific group within a nation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Never use it as a weapon to punish others (no nation is that bad ass)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Never call it something else.</div>

<div>When it fails, knock it off, quick like.<br>
