>> Free trade came to mean that the US would by and large open its markets while most of Asia did not.

You got it.

Overall, I’m an open-markets proponent, but they really have to be open... on BOTH sides.

One-sided “free markets” are just another case of “Dudley DoRight” (aka Uncle Sam) bending over in naive good faith, so the world to have their way with us.

I remember once upon a time in America, Congress actually attempted to protect the American worker, American standard of living.

They use to negotiate fair trade deals, unlike these lopsided monstrosities handed to our competitors.

It’s about time government return to the days of for and by the people....not for and by the corporate / foreign lobbyist.
