I just don't see how after the past thirty years of "free trade" destroying the US middle class people can still pretend that their definition of free trade works across the board without any restraints or concern for strategic industries and energy.

I guess you have to be on, "the right side of the trade", as they say, to understand how your fellow US citizens getting shafted and put out of work by H1-B Visa holders or factories moving overseas is a good thing, huh ?

One of the main ingredients for a vibrant economy is abundant cheap energy. They just shot that in the @$$.

Another is a low (or no) corporate tax and market-friendly regulatory policies....Idiots!
