You have simply replaced the “Soviet Man” with the “Chinese Man”. I assume you have faith in free markets, or am I mistaken? If you do, how can you possibly believe that an unfree market can out-compete a free market? China can only keep up its fake growth for so much longer, the government and the technocrats just aren’t smart enough, and never will be. I know you feel that government just gets in the way in America, how is China’s some magic all knowing/all seeing gathing of wonderful Obamas?
Meant to say, how is an all powerful government full of Obamas going to outdo a free society?
You must be replying to another post.
Suggest you reread my post 50.
Trade is not “free” if it is not “fair”.
Only the United States is practicing “free” trade, to its detriment.
Its competitors restrict and prohibit reciprocal trade.
When all the other trading nations live up to the same rules as the US, or the US rescinds its own rules, will there be free and fair trade. Tell me if you think the US should allow child labor, stop all worker wage and benefits improvements, waive all environmental laws, stop all taxation, permit unconstrained pollution, arbitrarily set the exchange rate of its currency, and stop defending the rest of the free world, because that is what it will take to compete with China.
For too many Republicans, libertarians, and sadly, Freepers, “Free” trade is a mantra that they really don’t understand.
