“get rid of free trade ...Get rid of hyper-regulation.”

Un, Free trade by definition is the removal of hyper-regulation.

We live in a MIXED economy, half capitalist, half socialist. Both the article and most people fail to recognize this.

The LBJ GREAT SOCIETY was the Marshal Plan for the US. It’s been tried and failed. Linda McMahon in trying to remove the Federal government from HEADSTART...the biggest failure of the GREAT SOCIETY. But even many MAGA worship the fantasy that a Federal Headstart is the solution.

The article is a poorly thought out mix of nonsense.

We live in a mixed economy. The Marshall Plan in Europe was a mixed economy. The author says capitalism is better than communism and then argues for statist solutions.

Our current “free trade” isn’t actually “free trade,” it’s simply a conspiracy between mercantilist foreign powers, principally China, and US business and political elites to sell Third World labor at First World prices, impoverishing the American people.
