Jason Lewis made an excellent point yesterday on Rush’s show. He pointed out how we trade between states in the United States. If free trade is such a bad thing, why don’t we abolish trade between the states as well?

I liked when he admonished people who thought it was a bad thing to grow their own oranges or quit drinking Florida OJ.

Free trade between the states is a major reason why we have the Constitution instead of the old Articles of Confederation.

The danger is that whoever "interprets" the powers to regulate that trade, IE commerce, may overreach, just as the US government has done since the FDR administration.
