"You and the other posters that somehow think this bill was a good idea and/or that free trade is some sort of horrible evil need to study basic economics before you make yourselves sound like fools."

You know nothing of economics. Free trade empowers our enemies, and debases our currency. It's a deep leftist concept, first defacated on this country by Col Edward Mandel House, Wilson's communist secretary of state. Learn some history, huh?

Perhaps it would be helpful if you read the works of David Ricardo in regard to the benefits of trade. Also, it would be of benefit to you to realize that conservative economist Thomas Sowell agrees with me on this issue.

While I realize that yes, this is a fallacy of "appeal to authority", please look at his works in the issue of free trade, which are far better than what I could do, before you dismiss the free trade argument.

Ouch. I give you a three pointer on that one.

Everyone has their own view on this topic. You and I agree, but it’s a tough issue to nail down. Both sides seem to have to good points, but the free traders have been sold a bill of goods, and they’re out to convert the world.

Not this guys... I’m just not buying it.
