History does lend insight. Here's the insight it lends:
1 - there's always somebody complaining that some other country is about to destroy/ take over/ subjugate/ overrun America
2 - they've never been right
3 - looking at the actual manufacturing and other economic data for the last year clearly indicates that the American economy is quite healthy and in no danger of being exported out of the country
4 - the paranoid doom and gloomers always ignore item 3
5 - the paranoid doom and gloomers always say "this isn't like that other time"
6 - this always winds up being like that other time

There's your free insight for the day.

Where is your imperical falsifiable data showing that free trade works? Where is the historic record. I didn't ask you for rhetoric. We get plenty of rhetoric and claims from you guys - for crying out loud you sound like a cult. Lie, decieve, twist and shovel smoke...

I'm still waiting, btw, for your impiracle data and historical records showing us factually that free trade works.
