That's funny!
but trade also destroys jobs.
Who trades more than the US? Who has a lower unemployment rate than the US? Maybe you can tell me how many jobs each $1 billion in imports destroys?
while increases in imports tend to reduce jobs and for good reason.
We import more than ever. We have more jobs than ever. The evidence doesn't seem to support your position. Maybe you have a source that does?
Calm down now. Never said the US didn't have the best AND biggest economy in the world. However, the overall trends during the last 20-30 years indicate the USA is no longer the economic force in the world it once was. The dollar has faded, our trade deficit is at an all time high and we are not eduacting our chidlren properly. The rest of the world is catching up to the US. That's why its so critical the Feds apply the brakes to the America's ever expanding globalization efforts. The Feds need to stop signing trade deals with nations that aren't concerned with looking out for America's best interests.
