We have no “free market” for our goods.
We only give away a “free market” to our adversaries.
Do you leave your front door open at night?
You you leave your car doors open in your driveway?
Do you leave your stereo in your front yard?
Do you leave money laying around at work?
Do you?
Why are we as a nation, doing things that foolish?
I’m all for “free markets”.
We don’t have any “free markets” for our goods.
It is beyond STUPID for us to keep ours open, to any nation which does not reciprocate 100%.
Tariffs. Now.
Or perhaps even total blockade.
Then, and only then, (begin) negotiating for reciprocal access.
We are doing nothing now, except giving away our nation.
It is not possible to have welfare state and open borders and free trade. They cannot co-exist.
