The problem is that Free Trade in textbook theory is a good thing, but as with all economics, the textbooks occur as in a laboratory with perfect conditions.. the real world is not perfect conditions, so theory can’t be applied as directly.
Well, yes.
How is it, an economic theory was allowed to so subvert the national interests of history’s most incredible manufacturing superpower, that in just one generation - we have frittered history’s biggest fortune?
It’s all gone. We spent all our money. We sold our factories. We outsourced our jobs. We’ve even sold intellectual property and knowledge - to countries founded on the Communist Manifesto - and the Koran.
For what??
And when do we turn away from the abyss, we are speeding toward?
And why isn’t the GOP doing something about this catastrophe?
What is it, which has so immobilized the party, which should be leading us to salvation?
They’re mute. Dumb. Stationary. Unable to speak.
On the sidelines. Doing ... NOTHING. Sitting on their hands, afraid of their own shadow.
How else is it possible, a do-nothing, unknown junior Senator with no accompishments, no historical record, and questionable background - is now our POTUS?
Because the GOP has completely. Profoundly. Utterly dropped every ball in the stadium.
Repeatedly!
