Anything else is NOT free trade.
Perfect.
I'm old enough to remember when the LP was started and how it was cobbled together...somewhat akin to an old Chinese restaurant menu order: "Oh I'll take so-and so from column A and three of this-and-that from column B!" Replace the columns with GOP, DEM, Marxist, and completely crazy garbage from trhe old hippie movement and you get "LIBERTARIANISM" !
And service jobs are more secure and will keep our Nation strong and independent? You are so right.
The people that are pushing this line are traitors to America. Whose interests are they acting for?
“Protectionism” You can stow that happy crappy.
If your boys are anything like Club For Growth, they’d better update their resumes.
MAGA!
Obviously, you aren't up for this debate.
And that gem is your idea of logic.
When you stop using that copy of Copi’s Logic for a doorstop look up Genetic Fallacy.
I responded the same way to you as you responded to me, complete non sequitur.
There’s “BLACK MARKET” business going on right here, in America and that has been so, since this nation was a bunch of different colonies. It is NOT how a NATION trades; except in some peoples’ minds, who dwell in the proverbial “white towers” and don’t actually have a “REAL” job, don’t own a company, and just have wetdreams ore nightmares, which they put to paper.
I merely provided notice that your vaunted source is barking, raving, moonbat.
Perhaps you so called ‘free-market’ types do not mind funding unemployment, and welfare in this nation.
I expect our nation to engage in agreements where both sides benefit.
If an agreement destroys the jobs market in the United States, we’re going to have to suck it up and accept less trade.
Some folks acting as if what has been going on has no down-side.
We have tens of millions of people out of work. The federal government is having to dig deep to help them out in various ways. At the same time, government revenues lag due to payroll taxes that are not collected. At the same time, all the payroll money that would have been spent in the U.S., that would have served to support still other jobs, and payroll taxes from them and still others, is not taking place.
Is protectionism on some level the worst thing that could happen? Obviously not!
We have allowed the pendulum to swing too far in one direction. We need some equilibrium here.
There seems to be a theory out there in the netherworld that as long as trade is robust, it wouldn’t matter if there were only 10,000 private sector jobs in the nation.
I cannot buy into that nonsense any longer.
I get that, I hear it a lot. People telling me that I live in a “white tower” when I work 10-hour shifts, minimum.
I didn't denigrate you with ethnic slurs and stereotyping.
OTOH...IF you REALLY want to play THAT game, I suggest that you rethink it, as I am far more clever and nasty than you can ever hope to compete with.
Your appalling lack of reading comprehension skills is only getting you into a larger hole.
QUIT NOW, BEFORE YOU HIT WATER AND DROWN!
I think its time to sound the troll alert here. Someone may be having fun winding people up rather than having an honest discourse.
And that a system of protective tariffs was the basis of the American School of economics and was in effect for most of our history as we grew into the most powerful economy in the world.
Ah, yes. A Goddess of the Internet. Thank you for gracious warning.
FEE would be small l libertarian, not the Libertarian Party
Personally, I think people shouldn’t discuss others behind their back. But go ahead, the ‘Report Abuse’ button is a click away.
