“There was once a time when conservatives believed in the free market, instead of clamoring for our government to make it “fair.””
The “fair market” Trump is talking about is the one in which both of the trading partners enjoy the same trading privileges. As matters now stand between China and the United States, Mexico and the United States, and other nations and the United States there is no free trade, because China and the other nations charge the United States ruinous tariffs and devalue their currencies with respect to the U.S. Dollar while denying the United States the same privileges. So, what is being called free trade in today’s global economy is an oxymoron due to its being the exact opposite of actual free trade. Trump is demanding the United States enjoy the same rights as its trading partners.
Now, we have an immigration problem, but that has nothing to do with the Mexican beer I buy . . . . .
