"millions of U.S. jobs are eliminated each year by technology and changing consumer tastes, only to be replaced by new jobs that are being created by the same dynamic forces."

you shouldn't spread this kind of stuff around. This website (and our party) has become the Democrat light protectionist party doncha know? I will say that the one failure of the free trade side is how to best address the displacement of employees and jobs that we lose to free trade. We don't do a good enough job touting all of the new industry and business that is created by free trade and we as a society are not assisting all of the people that get hurt by globalization and free trade.

I suppose the conservative response is that people have to rely on themselves, not business or companies. That is how I have lived my life, but the reality is that is not going to fly in America in 2016.

I think slapping a 40% tariff on anything you import into the country won’t affect anyone in the United States and bring manufacturing back. The United States makes everything that you need to make anything that was ever made or will ever be made.

Explain to me the replacement jobs that are being created when Ford, Carrier, or any of those other big companies move their factories to Mexico

I guess I missed that part

"millions of U.S. jobs are eliminated each year by technoloogy and changing consumer tastes, only to be replaced by new jobs that are being created by the same dynamic forces."

This has nothing to do with offshoring factories. Different issue altogether.

So the 55,000 plus factories off shored since 2001 are now all automated? Right......

I’m waiting for Ford, Carrier and Nabisco to announce price reductions now that their products are hecho en Mexico. Globalism is making us all rich!

Are you voting Trump who wants to deal with trade issues in a rational way?

Free Trade has made China a superpower.

They are getting very aggressive in the South China sea.

How much is Free Trade worth?
