Free trade is not the boogieman you think it is..

Maybe you should go out and bustup a few windows and heads with the usual anti globalist crowd. They think the same thing.

Trade is necessary for US jobs. Trade deals are important to trade. The critical things are in the agreement. You need to be able to see the agreement to know that.

You have to have anti-dumping clauses, rules and regs on defective materials etc...this is the only way you will get free and fair trade.

Chaos does not make for good trade, nor do tariffs, port taxes, because these are not legitimate controls.

Threats and retaliations, imbalances, dumping, defective building materials all result from politically controlled trade via tariff and quota’s.

Economic recessions, at least one depression and several global meltdowns have been blamed on chaotic trade regulation. Some claim it’s led to wars.

Conservatives long ago took a free trade stance for these and other reasons. from time to time some political candidate comes along and resurrects the opposition to it but it’s out of ignorance that they do, or just plain populism politics.

I see nothing but foreigners and foreign products. Is that in our best interest?

So is your answer yes?
