One of the problems with arguing against a protectionist is that he is so intent on proving trade is the root of all evil, he fails to understand the nature of the problem he identifies--thereby not acting to solve it at all

We could mine all the rare earth magnets in the United States we want, but the enviros shut down the mines. Whining about the Chinese won't open them again. Why are you guys so myopic?
