If we don't get on the ball about free trade, we will all be poorer and weaker.

Look at the bright side, maybe our pets will live longer.

Free trade is fine, but not conscious-free trade.

Free trade with Japan? Sure. Free trade with Britain? Yep. Free trade with Austrailia? No problemo.

Free trade with China? No.

this trend is very sad, even many on FR are in favor of expanding government to meddle in the trade of free indidividuals.

Hopefully we don’t have to live through the 1930s again

There's nobody left that remembers the 30s or even the 70s.

The top 20% want free trade, the bottom 20% want no trade, and the muddle wants 'fair' trade.

If we p!ss off the Chinese, we will get skyrocketing inflation (from a depreciated dollar) and skyrocketing interest rates (nobody left to buy our govt bonds).


BUMP

When Senator Reid and others made their trip tp Latin America, it was mainly obscured in the US because it co-incided with Ford's funeral.

It is hard to determine exactly how much they will require to be done on each of the FTAs with Peru, Columbia, and Panama.

The Whitehouse has acknowledged that it will have to make some changes, but it is not clear whether the dems will accept a side agreement. The dems have never been satisfied with the NAFTA side agreements.

The title needs to be fixed. It should read:

Heavily Managed and Massively Unbalanced Trade Is Faltering
