Where did you get your "facts" from ? The Cato Institute ? The trade deficit after 12 years of free trade policies speaks for itself. I suppose that you think open borders is a great idea too. And I am taking the old-line Republican position on the trade issue ! Nearly all Republicans supported protective tariffs until Eisenhower was conned by the Rockefeller internationalist, free trade arguments. The original "Mr. Conservative" Bob Taft would be turning over in his grave if he knew that so-called conservative politicians were destroying our manufacturing capacity and national security. Fortunately, many Republicans seem to be coming to their senses and recognizing that fair trade, not free trade is our nation's best interests. Economic patriots of all types from labor Democrats to thoughtful moderates to nationalist conservatives need to band together and kill CAFTA. If we can stop CAFTA, the trend of toward globalism and free trade at all costs can be reversed. The free traitors must be defeated !
I'll be glad to consider your facts should you ever decide to post any.

We've had a trade deficit for 30 years now. The last time we had a surplus was during a recession. Japan and Germany have trade surpluses, would you like to trade economies with them?

Yeah, right. And we are so much poorer now than we were in the 50's because of it. (derisive sarcasm)

More fact-free hyperbole.

This, coming from a democrat? I find you are uniquely unqualified to lecturing anyone here about Republican values.

Workers of the world unite! We have nothing to lose but our chains.
HooYa!
