Thanks for the ping.

The irony of all this investment in infrastructure and financial sector business is that our Constitution limits what our federal and state governments can own, but “free trade” allows foreign governments to own what ours can’t.

It’s more than ironic. It’s MUCH more than “just” ironic.

"...but “free trade” allows foreign governments to own what ours can’t."

What passes for our federal government can block anything like this that it wants to block on grounds of national security -- if they can possibly remember what that phrase means...
