So there have been no adverse social or economic changes due to out sourcing our manufacturing infrastructure? The simple mindedness of the free traders is astounding....
Speaking of simple minds, how come protectionists never consider the adverse effect of a tarrif on steel (for example) on companies that consume steel?
Oddly enough, I said nothing of the sort.
What I did say way that I object to the use of government force to impose social or economic outcomes. Telling me about your objective doesn't change the fact that I a priori object to the government intervention in the first place.
Simple minded you call that? I find the view that big government is good when it happens to line up with your personal values far more simplistic.
