So, for example (and not speaking of you specifically), “it’s possible to come across someone who seeks to impose the Hunter standard (I’ll tariff your product x at the same rate you tariff my product x) where it is already being applied—in a case like the Agreement Bush just signed with Peru—resulting in the rather strange outcome of someone opposing a Free Trade Agreement because it does what he wishes.”
If THAT is what the trade agreement with Peru does, fine, that’s a good thing.
I am opposed to trade with a hostile power like Red China under any circumstances.
I really am not an economist, as I said. I wasn’t aware of the distinction between the two situations you described. I thought both issues were covered in one agreement.
How would ending complete trade make us better off? (hint: it won't)

You don't say?
