So you would permit the drug trade? I assume that you would support government prohibitions on the export of national security related technology or do you?
I have not ascribed morality to free trade, but free trade can be used as a carrot or stick against countries that repress their people or pose a threat to the national security of this country. It can also be an inducement to change national behavior.
You say that a good idea produces nothing,
Can you please cite anything I have posted that remotely indicates that assertion?
Your point about government bias is well taken. I don’t accept any form of crony capitalism. The General Welfare is exactly that - general. The minute government is aware of who will benefit from a law is the moment corruption begins. Government managed economies, like Chinas, are no good.
The US economy is becoming increasingly a managed economy as government controls more and more of the resources. Obamacare is just the latest manifestation, i.e., a takeover of one-sixth of the economy.
Good let’s agree that we don’t want a centrally managed economy.
