We are not ever going to be competitive with the slaves of the Chi-coms and the peasants of India unless we adopt their way of life.

That's what the globalist and pretend free traders refuse to admit. India, China, Singapore, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other poor nations have populations in excess of 3 or 4 billion people, with hundreds of billions of unemployed and underemployed.

The US with just over 300 million, and throw in the EU and Japan and get up to around 700 million, well those industrialized nations are supposedly going to export as many factories and outsource as many jobs to cheap labor nations as the transnationals care to, then ship goods back to the industrialized nations, and still somehow have strong economies and generate jobs for their own citizens.

Its all a big, catastrophic fantasy as is evidenced by the large and ever growing trade defits, budget deficits and unemployment now throughout the industrial nations. We've been propping it all up with trillions in debt, but the game will end at some point fairly soon.

I have been against free trade for 25 years. If we had an honest rational Gov’t in DC I would still be anti-free trade. But what you are not factoring in these days is the USA is breaking down along racial lines and the demagoguing of the white man.
So if an Obama type regime with his crony capitalism sets up some tariffs they be will ones that you hate and disagree with. They will be tariffs that insure more Democrat votes from the ignorant.

Tariffs.... Great if instituted by the right people but the right intelligent pro-America people will not be running DC for the foreseeable future. Just another way we are screwed since 0 got back in.
