"5. terrible when it comes to free trade"

Which is great because so-called free trade is terrible for America and is anything but free.

• We pay for the cheap import.
• We pay again when we have to support unemployed Americans because of the cheap import.
• We pay again when we have to cover a larger share of taxes because the unemployed Americans aren't paying their share of taxes.
• We pay again, when the foreign country uses the funds to buy American debt instead of buying trade goods from us.
• And when they aren't buying our debt, it's worse, because then they are buying our companies, and dismantling them and shipping them overseas. So the cycle intensifies.

I heard all of this nonsense when Japan was rising in the 1980s. Protectionists see bogeymen everywhere.
