Don't you know how Free Trade works?

I know that it converts blue chips into buffalo chips.

Oops, I think I replied to the wrong person.

I'm still laughing at the movie though. So glad I've got the Irish in me.

...it converts blue chips into buffalo chips

Nicely said, but only partly true. There is no douby Microsoft will turn enormous profits, and that one of the reasons is the inexpensive overseas labor. So in that regard the blue chip will remain blue.

The bigger issue, of course, is whether there is - or should be - any connection between foreign policy and trade policy. When - if ever - do we trade with our enemies, and does the US government have the right - in a capitalist economy - to impose such limitations and tariffs?
