I am all for free and unfettered trade, so long as our trading partners exercise the same policies. But China, India, and others do not.

Exactly, it seems like there’s not a square foot of foreign soil that we don’t already give preferential treatment in trade already. If the country isn’t using undervalued currency or subsidizing certain industries, we’re giving them foreign aid.

LOL, unlimited but with limits!   That's like saying 'I'm in favor of heterosexual marriage only when women act like men'.  The fact that in real life partners will never behave exactly as we do means that you can be anti-business and deny it at the same time.

Seems to me that the tea party mindset will facilitate easier manufacturing which leads to jobs and even more trade.

How anyone could oppose that is beyond me.
