“Free Trade Agreements” are not about free trade. It’s more like a massive affirmative action program run by more government bureaucrats to demand that businesses have “equal opportunity” in foreign markets, with the government acting as their marketing department and taxpayers serving as their insurance company. I wonder how businesses ever survived without government sponsored “trade missions” /s. Even Milton Friedman called NAFTA “managed trade.”
I assumed you were using the reference to Friedman and NAFTA to tie in with your statement that free trade agreements are not about free trade.
If I was wrong, I apologize.
Can I thus state you are in favor of free trade? Perhaps not NAFTA as it was created, but the concept of free trade?
