The only way to ensure America remains “competitive” is to give away access to our markets.
That nonsense.
That strikes me as a singularly one-dimensional view of an inordinately complex problem. Not to say thoroughly illogical and, given American history, counterintuitive.
But still, you have told me nothing about the facts on the ground that persuaded you to reduce this multi-faceted problem to purely one-dimensional economic terms.
Plus your "conclusion" apparently leaves America in a toothless, supine position WRT to rest of the world. Which since WWII, has depended on America as the moral center of world order, by virtue of its tremendous cultural power, and the economic and military power that flows from that.
I gather America is no longer allowed to be America in your book.
