“We don’t want a self contained Market

Until the no tariff movement of the 1990’s we had protective tariffs and were freely trading with other nations around the globe. Tariffs do not preclude selling into foreign markets.

I have yet to see any analysis that suggests there was a net economic benefit to the United States from eradicating tariffs and quotas through the WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA, and the other “free trade” agreements of the last 25 years. I have observed the economic devastation, declining standards of living for the first time in our nation’s history, and the gutting of the US industrial infrastructure that has occurred since 1990. I also know our national security has been harmed by the loss of manufacturing self sufficiency.
