On Protectionism

Mike Huckabee, who's never been very sharp when it comes to economics, has lately become more vocal in favor of protectionism.

Here's a short piece of commentary on the dangers of protectionism from Club for Growth and a link on their page to a superb piece from the San Diego Union-Tribune on the subject.

P.S. There's also a nice little look into Huckabee's bad fiscal policy as governor. Nowadays, he's pretending to be big on the Fair Tax. Funny, I don't remember him ever mentioning it when he was governor. Hmmmm....
