I’ll reply to your post point by point later, but have to go now.
But I have time for this. You free traders agree with Obama, democrats and Marx on this free trade.It’s ridiculous to give China all our technology and allow them to make most (soon every little thing) we use. Anyone that thinks that we the U.S.A. can survive when another country(S) produces practically every damn thing we use is not living in reality but in the media created alternate universe. We are living on debt and that is not sustainable.
They don't favor free trade at all. Wherever did you get that idea?

The question you need to ask yourself is why isn't more of it produced here? Now, some stuff will always be made in other countries -- it would be economically foolish for us to try to be self-sufficient. But much more could be manufactured, mined, or drilled for here to be sure.
Hint: it isn't because of our wages. That's a shibboleth. Our wages are relatively high in the U.S. because we have invested trillions into technology that makes each worker more productive. In general, wages as a percent of revenues are the same here.
Curtailing our freedom will not ever bring us more jobs.
