I noticed many of those who don't understand this are too young to have voted for Reagan. They seem to be the brain-washed product of our liberal academia which pervades the economics department as well as other college departments.

What's going on is an attempt to completely wipe American history and what made this country so prosperous out of the minds of the younger generation. How can one even know that semi-protectionist policies in the past worked to create the largest middle class in the world if they're never taught or discussed? If anything those policies are being demonized as being a failure. Talk about Orwellian.

That Communist China still imprisons Christians for being Christian and uses forced prison labor doesn't seem to bother anyone in the Bush administration, or any of the free-traitors here.

That's the dirty little secret the free traders would prefer not to talk about. And trading with China won't make it better for those being oppressed. The thugs running that country are as committed to their totalitarian system as they've ever been and all the corporations are doing is exploiting their labor.

Those policies were a failure and lead to stagnation in the 70's. I'm just old enough to remember that. Americans managed to prosper despite the policies of their government, not because of.
