Some of you probably the sitcom “Gomer Pyle, USMC.” It ran from 1964 to 1969 and still runs in syndication on ME TV. Anyone who has seen it will recall the Sergeant on the show asking questions of the recruits and yelling “I can't hear you” when they answer. He wanted them to yell back loudly, “Sir, yes, sir.” 

Unless revoked or substantially reduced to what they are now, 30 percent for 90 days, President Trump’s tariffs will still wipe out the investments made in our small family business and kill our manufacturing plant, here in Boise. When I talk to my friends and neighbors about the continuing uncertainty, I hear similar expressions of frustration about the impact of tariffs on American businesses.
