I'm 100% for free trade, as long as it's REALLY two way free trade.
That's the issue! All will give you lip-service and talk a good bit. In the end, few are really sincere and all they want is to export export export and with behind closed door taxes, environmental rules, safety codes, insurance games or whatever will try to block our imports. Yet these restrictions are never called a "tariff", all awhile they export heavily and if the US cries foul they scream "Free trade" back at us.
Im all for free trade, but our government needs to become a real A-hole in monitoring and enforcement. We need to slap a 1:1 dollar trade balance limit on those who are determined to be playing crooked. Their products or services may not enter our country unless we sell an equal value to them.
