One is that trade really has been good for the United States as a whole, even if it’s been bad for certain communities. Consumers across the US have benefited from lower prices and greater product variety. US companies have benefited from exporting their goods to the Chinese market.

Lol, once most of an industry in the US has been destroyed by imports from cheap labor nations, those "lower prices" don't stay lower for long. Lower prices is one of the shibboleths so-called free traders always throw around, but they don't have the data to prove it and any shopper whose followed prices for certain types of items over many years will probably disagree with the claim.

There is little or nothing in this MIT 'study' that people with the common sense of an average twelve year-old hadn't concluded for themselves years ago.

Shopped at a Walmart recently? That’s where folks go to find Chinese goods.
