ps: in case you forgot, or were brainwashed in public school, we are the United States, not the United State.
Obviously, the concept of "FEDERALISM" is completely lost on you; if you ever knew what it meant to begin with! And obviously, you never had an eco class of any kind.
Oh didums, did you go to public school? Is THAT your problem?
I, OTOH, went to elite private schools, where we had to read the FEDERALIST PAPERS as well as the ANTI ones, and know the Constitution just about by hear and understand all of that too.
I hadn’t noticed that the Federal tax dollars collected in Montana were being shared with Canada, silly me...or that industries in Canada would be available to the USA in a war situation. If you don’t understand the function of a Nation vs a State you have no business muddying the waters here.
Canada & America are fairly close as Nations but they have a different set of laws and socialized medicine as well as a very Liberal mindset. They set up their country to benefit Canadians not to look after Americans and we should have the same ground rules. Our trade situation with Canada is closer to free trade then with many other countries but we still address specific industries and situations as do they.
Where in your scenerio is the possibility of a foreign Gvt or corporation using Canada as a pass through to undercut our workers?
Many of the people who push “free trade” are either naive idealists or cynicists have duplicitous motives even petty ones such as not wanting to look foolish after spouting off for so many years. Like socialists they want to pretend that other Nations(the people of the world) will take the high moral ground and not work the system against any Nation(the rest of the Socialist’s group) that doesn’t maintain a guard against their actions. Or like the Liberal who thinks that if he writes a law everyone will put away their guns ignoring the reality that the effect will be that only criminals will have guns leaving the honest citizen doubly vulnerable.
Its all the same story.
