Simple version:
“America gives away everything which is great about America for free to people who consider us an enemy. We then spend all our money to import what we used to make, so we’ll be de-industrialized, unemployed, incapable and broke at the end of the process”.
That’s pretty much it.
Why dose this remind me of a Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme? Maybe because both Madoff and the “free traders” get all the loot up front and let the others get nothing. That is all this “free trade” stuff is all about, a group of sharp insiders gaming the system while the rest of the country goes down the tubes. This has to be stopped right now.
I hope the Republicans become the party of American jobs. The Republicans should be for fair trade and they should point out that NAFTA and the China trade happened on Clinton’s watch. But it is really sad that many Republicans have been for cheap labor.
