“Conservatives” have been all in on this “free trade” advice for decades. How is that working out? GREAT, for the socialist/totalitarian governments who NEVER reciprocate the “free trade.” For America, we are now a nation of tattoo parlors, pawn shops, massage store fronts, a gig economy fueled more by government checks, than an industrial backbone.

Well stated!
Excellent post, but I suspect AUTOMATION has been a much bigger factor in declining industrial jobs over the last 40 years than anything else.
Don’t forget the American CEO’s who send American jobs overseas in favor of cheap labor, knowing there is no penalty when importing these now foreign made goods back into the U.S., all so they can afford 5 vacation homes instead of just 2.
If protectionism is such a bad thing then why does the rest of the world embrace it so?
Very well said!
One thing you hardly see mentioned in these articles is the fact that foreign tariffs are levied against us in incredibly unfair fashion.
What scares liberals is that should this work in helping America, then Trump will be a hero to blue collar workers
Left has taken a no win situation in this matter. Incredible how foolish they are. Dems used to claim ownership of the blue collar worker, until they destroyed their jobs!
You forgot drug dealers and prostitutes.
