Which candidate is for protecting Americans and families and children? - TKW - 12-17-2012 06:59 PM
The term is mostly used in the context of economics, where protectionism refers to policies or doctrines which "protect" businesses and "living wages" by restricting or regulating trade between foreign nations:
Subsidies - To protect existing businesses from risk associated with change, such as costs of labor, materials, etc.
Protective Tariffs - to increase the price of a foreign competitor's goods ( Including restrictive quotas, and anti-dumping measures.) on par or higher than domestic prices.
Quotas - to prevent dumping of cheaper foreign goods that would overwhelm the market.
Tax cuts - Alleviation of the burdens of social and business costs.
Intervention - The use of state power to bolster an economic entity.
Trade restriction
Exchange Rate
Protectionism can be described as the economic means to achieve the political goal of an independent nation.

I don't know, but I definitely wouldn't vote for a candidate who supported subsidies or tariffs.
