Our trading partners have unrestricted access to our markets. Without restrictions, these countries can predatorily price their exports to us. Their prices are designed to put any company or group of American companies out of business and our companies are increasingly going under. We must stop these self-destructive agreements. The WTO and NAFTA are choking U.S. companies out of business.

Orchestrated destruction of the US economic capability to provide for the institution of the New World Order. Believe it.

The problem isn’t U.S. companies going out of business, the problem is U.S. companies abandoning American workers for third world labor. Remember when they told us if we let the rich get REALLY rich they’d take the rest of us along for the ride? Didn’t happen.

Yes, Donald Trump really made us all aware of this problem and understands the relationship between bad negotiations leading to bad trade deals, too high corporate taxes and too oppressive regulations making it very difficult for American companies to compete for our own markets, much less overseas.

Trump has brought the important issues for helping Americans to the forefront, strong immigration reform...we let to many legal and illegal immigrants in...security against Islamic terrorism...he has been right on every front on that. I am so grateful for the sacrifice this great man and his family are making for us...and am so ashamed of our party and media...for me it is either Trump or done.

I checked..... Americans like to buy stuff that is not too expensive for their budgets.

Everybody that matters knows that “free Trade” actually means”free er trade.”

BTW...... I have a friend that retired from a very good job. Being tired of sitting around, he found a new one that is mostly part time. He works for a funeral home moving bodies around. There is considerable inter mortuary traffic that requires his services. Sometimes when business is too good, he puts his suit back on and helps with the funeral.

We should move immediately to curb our out-of-control spending on unnecessary programs and initiatives that are being financed by foreign debt.

Of the “evils” invested on our society, Free trade is far lower on the list that what this author proposes. What is driving American companies to use cheaper labor is the high tax rate on US companies.

It is simple math. Profit = Revenue - Costs. Cost includes cost of goods, costs of overhead, cost of TAXES and cost of Labor. In many companies, TAXES and Labor are both within the top 5 costs of the company. Since there is no alternative to paying taxes, the cost reduction has to come from labor.

So if the intent is to keep American companies American, then you need to lower the corporate tax rate. Lets talk about that first.

..You Haven’t Been Paying Attention

Or, you've been paying attention to the wrong sources, like ABCNNBCBS, NYT, WA COMPOST, LAT, public TV/radio, etc.

Breaks down to either bug or windshield.

The democrats and rinos want us to be the bugs.

President Trump !

I know he is a neo-conservative but he’s got a LOT to lose, otherwise he would not have bothered to run.

The other choices are too terrible to contemplate.

Make America great again. Please.

The more government, the more they “do” for us, the more our wages stay stagnent, the more the entire economy stay stagnent.
It really isn’t hard to figure out.

“The WTO and NAFTA are choking U.S. companies out of business”.

Because, per the U.N. our high standard of living is not “Sustainable” and must be brought in line. The way they have sought to achieve that is with their Agenda 21/ Sustainable Development Plan. This is now become official U.S. Gov. policy. NAFTA actually cites “Promotion of Sustainable Development” as a Goal in the Preamble.

America’s economy will not recover and the re-distribution of our wealth will continue until all the Agenda 21/Sustainable Development policies are terminated. That’s the only way to “Make America Great Again”.

>>“Free Trade” is Destroying Us

The Crony Mercantilism that’s been inflicted upon us Oligarchic Collectivists has nothing to do with Free Trade.

I was once pretty solid middle-class. I have been destroyed, especially since 2007-2008. But I saw the effects on the housing market a couple years before, right after Katrina.

Most Americans are not prepared for the major adjustment to their living conditions. Just a few missing paychecks, sometimes even one, and the bottom falls out.
