I think its hilarious you’re on a thread like this one. “free trade” is so good for the economy, you’ve said it over and over. Even the cheap, contaminated chinese food you “free traders” have infected our food supply with, isn’t helping anymore with the inflation caused by the globalization of our economy.

If Americans had protected their economy instead of opening it up to the international looter’s wealth redistribution system called “free trade”, there would be ample, reasonably priced food for our citizens.

And I think it’s hilarious that, apart from your usual demagoguery, in an era when our government pays farmers to produce a particular type of feed, and pays other farmers not to plant anything at all, you appear on a thread to argue for . . . surprise . . . more government intervention.

Raise tariffs, for cheaper food!

What's next? Raise taxes, for higher take home pay? LOL!

By what mechanism do you believe free trade caused higher food prices?
