The tariff was signed into law on June 17, 1930. The Great Depression was well underway by then – the stock market crashed in October, 1929. Saying it “croaked” the world economy is an absurd oversimplification – many economists feel it had little to no effect at all.

BTW, whose side are these worthy Libertarians on, anyway?

Barack Obama? JOHNSON: Good guy. Hillary Clinton? JOHNSON: Hillary Clinton, a wonderful public servant, I guess I would say that. Donald Trump? WELD: Huckster.
