Yet centuries of economic research have demonstrated that on a host of issues, from trade to taxes, economic policy that fosters free markets is critical to economic growth.

Given our trade deficits, it is only critical to the countries that we trade with. If Americans buy goods made in other countries because they are cheaper or made better ... how does that foster growth in our country?

I'm I totally missing something? Or am I just a low information supporter of a billionaire?

Made better? LOL

“If Americans buy goods made in other countries because they are cheaper or made better ... how does that foster growth in our country?”

If Americans buy goods from other countries that must mean that Americans have the money to buy those goods. Where did they get that money?

And if Americans buy more foreign goods each year where do they get that additional money?
