They make sense to people who don't think. They stop thinking when you say "it will encourage our own production" and never start thinking again. As I said every economist is horrified, but if you stop thinking when you start thinking it's a clever way to protect your own manufacturing, it seems to you (a fool if you think that way) clever. There are not a lot of things more dangerous than a fool who believes he's clever.
