I believe in free trade within the United States. Being as libertarian as we please. But behaving this way internationally with economic rivals and enemies (China) is suicide and we already see the result of decimation of our productive capacity in various industries.
1010RD does not get that international trade economics is political, unfair and vicious.
I agree.
dennisw and central_va do not get that international trade economics is political, unfair and vicious. Why should we limit our liberty and make our international trade political, unfair (a typical SJW plank and an undefinable word), and vicious?
