They are not abiding by the rules.

Par for the course. Why not, though, focus on trade rules you can directly affect?

The Commerce Clause is designed to make America a giant free trade zone. Why not employ that to make trade freer at the local, county, state and national level in America, our country? How about national licensing reciprocity?

That would be a double win, no? Without mentioning the 2A, we could win national reciprocity by simply letting a doctor in IL practice in NY or anywhere. That would go for plumbers, electricians, Realtors and all licensees.

Stop fretting about governments you cannot control and seek freer trade at home, now. Unless you prefer government managed trade, a form of slavery?

LOL. I hope you are joking. We have enormous leverage against the Chinese. We are China's biggest recipient of their exports. We can demand changes and link them to their exports to us. There are ways to use WTO and GATT to go after Chinese violations.

Yeah, that's what we need, more federal power and control over the states. What about the 10th amendment?

We don't have a problem with free trade within the US. And whatever differences exist between the states like right to work laws, licensing, regulatory codes, etc. should be left up to the states to decide and not be imposed by the federal government.

We have free trade within 50 states.
