All mush fer brains libertarians who are addicted to “free trade”.....Who think we can run enormous trade deficits without being called to account. You are as bad as the liberal Democrat big spenders

That is a rational defense of sugar protection and government intervention in the markets being unambiguously a good thing every time?

I am not a libertarian, or a free trade absolutist. But I do agree with the school of thought that free trade between free nations is preferable to a highly regulated and taxed market.

But maybe increased government regulation and taxes (and power) are the solution to all our problems! LOL!!!
