And I am an unabashed free-trader. And I'm not worried a bit. The market, free or not, wins every time. No government official can do a darn thing about it.
In passing, I will leave you with this:
In 1985, Roger [Milliken] had come to the White House to persuade me to convince [President Reagan] to sign a bill to slow the flood of textiles into the country. No way, I told Mr. Milliken. I’m the biggest free-trader in the building, except for the fellow down the hall, who was Ronald Reagan. Roger went away disappointed. Reagan vetoed the bill. And I supervised the writing of the veto message.

"Oh yeah, I'm terse. Especially with people who "don't recall.""
Now there you go again, ;-) with that terseness.
Someday my FRiend I pray you also live long enough to not recall things. I assure you that it's not done on purpose.
