I noticed that you made a number of contributions to a thread here in which a lawyer used a rather old law to force his neighbors to pay part of the cost of fencing the lawyer's property.
You were quite vigorous in your defense.
As for me, I'm in favor of nice new laws that implement good, strong tariffs to protect American jobs and industry.
And since you clearly favor letting neighbors pay for a fence, you must surely favor letting tariffs pay for the protection of American jobs and manufacturing infrastructure!
And, responding to your post, the problem most certainly IS free trade. Investors can see that the U.S. is bankrupt, and has divested herself of the ability to earn income. We've given it away to China. So, naturally, those investors don't want to risk their money here.
The free traitors have cut America's throat. We're only beginning to see the consequences.
And thanks again for all your contributions to that property thread - you may be assured that I will remind you of your position in making others pay for the lawyer's fence.
So what of France's $47B FDI? It's not like France is flooding us with cheap imports, or under-cutting our manufacturing with low wages. Is France the new bogeyman?
Only if you are able to make the argument that the fence in question must also be subsidized by others whose property does not adjoin the fence. Be my guest.
