free trade nonsense? Free trade is the basics of free market economics. (btw, I think this is a great article on the huckster)
Free trade is non -existent. If we are putting our manufacturer’s at a disadvantage, which we most certainly are, via idiotic arrangements we agreed to through the WTO, than it is not only not free, it is a usurpation of our sovereignty. It is the worst of all scenarios.
GWB tried to partially level the playing field by offering tax rebates to our exporters, only to have the WTO rule them illegal and the wusses that we are, they were rescinded.
