Suppose there is a policy debate regarding the United States’ imposing trade restrictions on imported ball bearings: A senator from a state with several ball-bearing factories explains that it is necessary to impose trade restrictions, such as a tariff, on the ball-bearing industry to protect workers in the domestic ball-bearing industry. The senator claims that without trade protection, there will be layoffs, causing many U.S. workers in the ball-bearing industry to be unemployed. Which of the following justifications is the senator using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings?
Jobs argument
National-security argument
Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
Infant-industry argument
Unfair-competition argument
