How is free trade really free when there are artifical limits imposed by governments and magic men around the world?
An economy is not a machine, it’s a living, breathing thing. Sometimes, it has to fight the cancer from within before it can continue to grow.

(Thanks free trade)hiya, welcome. Since you're using parenthases already, I gather this is an alias.
Anyway...manufacturing is tanking because deep recession and years of overcapacity.

Manufacturing slows to lowest level since 1948I'm confused. US GDP is 6 times what it was in 1948 (in real terms- It is >50X what it was in 1948 in nominal terms.)
How is manufacturing slower now than then?

Deficits DO mater.Easy money matters (Blame Greenspan)
Credit default swaps matter (blame Wall St and bankers)
Derivatives matter (blame Wall St and bankers)
Zero regulation of derivatives, naked shorting by super dunce/stooge Chris Cox matters
Total hands off markets attitude from George Bush, an alleged Harvard B School graduate, matters
Libertarians rejoice we had a totally free market in derivatives!

High corporate taxes, exorbitant union wages and benefits, and crushing government regulations have made it easier to do business elsewhere. Blaming "free trade" while ignoring the elephant in the room will get you nowhere. The criminal Democrats forced their mortgage banker buddies make loans to people who had no means of repaying the loans. That trashed the mortgage and securities market.
China doesn't have free trade. They are in the toilet too. It seems when people stop buying, the businesses that sell them products tend to fold. Oil prices crashed...no demand.
Your simple minded rant against free trade doesn't wash.
