Protectionism isn’t the answer. Free trade enhances competition and drives prices down. You’re advocating a lower standard of living for Americans, and empowerment of a regulated economy.
Boy, you know how to parrot that schitck perfectly.
With a median household income that has been actually declining over the last 10+ years. there’s been not only no increasing standard of living for Americans under the current “free trade” pablum, the standard of living is going down.
Trade with the PRC isn’t “free trade.” They pillage our intellectual property, use currency arbitrage to maintain their trade advantage and flout product standards. This isn’t “free trade.”
Complete nonsense...A men's shirt that costs 10 cents to produce in China or Indonesia still sells for 20 bucks at JC Penney's...
A snowblower produced in China this year costs more than last year's American made model...
And then the jobs are gone from America...
