Earth is not a single country...

Huh.  Really?  No kidding --when the hell did this happen?   Dang, I wish to hell I wasn't always the last to hear about this sort of thing.

Now that you know...

Ooops, my bad.  I was trying to be facetious but I had my  comms settings wrong.

There.  Now I can try this again:

I know that you know that Earth is not a single country.

When I said "now that you know" I was being - get this - sarcastic! (Check your incoming comms settings.)

But there still remains a serious point about global free trading regimes.

We are better off negotiating our trading relationships on an individual country basis. And when we have a country running up $500 billion trade surpluses with us, we've gotten it wrong with that country and need to renegotiate it.

Yet the U.S. runs a NAFTA deficit thanks to imports of fossil fuels and their byproducts, and automobiles. Remove them from the equation, and the U.S. would run a trade surplus with Mexico and Canada.

Remove a few key states and Shrillary won the election. Stoopid.

The theory NAFTA and TPP would make imports cheaper for the American consumer was quiet true, however with all the jobs lost due to this who has the money to buy the cheap crap? Chicken and egg...

With trade America first the world second, we win, they lose.

10 paragraphs in and the moron author still hasn’t said why NAFTA is a job creator.

We look at China today and we see the upside numbers of extraordinary growth
At our expense. China would not be what they are without us. Sadly some people are too stupid to see it.
