Politicians, especially on the international scene,will never allow "free trade" to exist because they are making out like bandits with all the tax dollar giveaways to coerce them into signing "free trade' agreements. So arguing for "free trade" is an exercise in futility

Is arguing for an end to welfare an exercise in futility?

So arguing for "free trade" is an exercise in futility

It is as long as there is a UN, a WTO, OAS and all the "free trade" areas like ASEAN, EU, FTAA etc etc etc
