I’ve been hard on Mark the last couple of weeks, but rightly so after listening to this drivel tonight. He actually went so far in his support for completely unencumbered trade with ALL nations of the world, he insisted trade imbalances don’t matter. He said trade deficits only exist because we import oil, which is hogwash. He shouted down a caller, who was actually trying to repeat some of Levin’s points about reducing taxes, but apparently they weren’t sufficiently open to free trade enough in Levin’s mind.
Then Levin said we can’t dare reduce trade, because of all of “the Americans” working in the shipyards unloading the containers coming to our shores would immediately lose their jobs, which is more hogwash. He is a shameless liar, as far as I’m concerned. If you’re tired of hearing me say it, sorry, I still don’t have his knife removed from my back yet, but hopefully one of these days I will. Thanks for the soapbox.
