Isolationism is bad for our military.
Isolationism is bad for our economy.
Activist and engaged thinking is the only thing that works.

We sell over $1 trillion of our “overpriced goods” to the world. Hardly worth mentioning. LOL!
LOL?! You still did not address my question. You either did not read my question or you are indeed a moron.
Thank God, you are not in the Financial markets.
I will keep my own consul which has made me very comfortable indded, while you smoke out the gems on your little computer.
LOL!

and the dollar is neatly coming into the range where pesos will be envisioned at near parity, once they adjust out a few things. 
Wow, parity is right around the corner. LOL!

"More exports support better and higher-paying jobs," the president said.Well yes. But it was the Labor Dept or USTR that, "crossed thier hearts and hoped to die" that manufacturing job loss wasn't all that bad. That displaced workers could find a job in the IMPORT sector, or transporting all that IMPORTED goods. Yeah, thats one way for a superpower display economics.

Its a good thing we have smart guy’s who were good at math that allowed there to be CDO’s and CDE’s that nearly collapsed the financial system. Go read Nassim Taleb!

Actually, the arguments for free trade are often too simplistic and ignore other relevant realities.
If I buy a fan made in China for $20, with similar US fans costing $30, but the Chinese fan only lasts 1 year rather than 3 years for the US fan, then I have *lost* value.

Holy thread necro, Batman.
