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

Still waiting for what? just look at what XBob posted in 558, what direction is the trend going? Just look at the latest job data (new jobless claims lowest in 3 years). Just look at unemployment (under 6% which used to be considered full employment). Just check the latest retail figures ( http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,116943,00.html ).

Everything good is going up, most everything bad is going down. All in a period when our international trade is freer than it's ever been. Free trade IS WORKING RIGHT NOW. This IS the historical data. Come, join me in reality, it's a nice place, much sweeter smelling than that dank depressing hole you currently call a world view.

Why don't you show us where restricting trade works to make a country more prosperous than America.

Would you like to trade places with North Korea, Cuba, Europe. Which country following your ideas does better than America? Take your time.
