Free trad creates jobs.

Protectionism creates recessions depressions and global war.

Reagan did not protect industries. Japan did not surpass America economically. People said thiscsqme stuff in the 1980s.

You really do have a tough job. I couldn’t say some of the things you do and keep a straight face.

I bet I sleep better, though.

Actually Reagan imposed tariffs on many imports where American industries were struggling. Granted they were very specificly targeted imports but they were tariffs just the same and they worked.

Then why is it that the "free traders" were in power when we had the last and now the current depression, and when the world wars were started?

History does not bear your statement out.

It is proven that the "free traders" were the people who fomented the civil war in this country because they did not want to give up slave labor.

Today's "free traders" still lust after slave labor, so they have engineered a system that rewards the communist slavers and destroys free people and free enterprise.

The "free traders" have been more devastating to the modern world than the bubonic plague was to the medieval.
