Few things over the past fifty years illustrate government intervention more than all these one-sided trade arrangements they have agreed to since the 1950s.

These trade agreements reduced government intervention on both sides.

Our mushrooming expense for food stamps, medicaid, EITC, unpaid medical bills, and all the government subsidy programs for low wage earners are a cost of our current economic and trade policies.

If only we raised the tariff on Chinese made lawn furniture we could eliminate food stamps, medicaid, EITC, unpaid medical bills, and all the government subsidy programs for low wage earners?

Every trick available to increase the supply of labor and decrease the cost has been used.

Huh? Did Obamacare decrease the cost of American labor?

The policy of exporting jobs to cheap labor, and the policy of allowing employers to lure cheap, illegal alien labor to the US saves nothing.

All the free traders I know want to build a real wall on the border and ship a couple of million illegals back home. For starters.

If lawn furniture imports were replaced by domestic manufacturers who hired underemployed food stamps recipients then yes, absolutely.
