NAFTA resulted in the government picking winners and losers. Even worse, it also allowed foreign governments to do so.

I think you are right. I also think there are useful idiots in government who believe they are doing the right thing for the right reasons, but I also believe there are many powerful people in our government who have discovered (and benefit from) how much money they can make picking winners.

We are not a free market and what we have had for some time is not really capitalism. It’s crony capitalism with strong hints of socialism.
