#MAGAAMERICA IS #RURALAMERICA

👇
The rural economy suffered more deeply and more structurally than urban areas, despite the protectionist intentions of the #SmootHawleyTariff...

In 1930, the #SmootHawleyTariff raised U.S. tariffs on 20,000+ imports, aiming to protect jobs, but it backfired, deepening the #GreatDepression by stifling global trade. In 1934, #FDR reversed course with the #ReciprocalTradeAgreementsAct, promoting lower tariffs & international cooperation. 🌍

Great Depression - Wikipedia

I did a report on the #SmootHawleyTariff back in high school. Obviously there are a lot of factors in play and I don't think it's possible to say that things will definitely repeat. But history is always good to know about

Even Ferris Bueller knew more on his day off!
How to not repeat the Great Depression!
And it was republicans back then too. Hmmm
