Sorry but it’s the truth.

“Free trade” is not a conservative ideal.

Yes, there are times when common sense America First trade measures can conflict with radical globalist Adam Smithian dogma. It seems oft times greedy traitors so can never decern the vomit from the steak.

Adam Smith was a globalist? Do tell.

Adam Smith defines globalism. Marxists love him.

Gas is cheaper than that. I’m surprised how fast it’s fallen in the last month. Of course that can change in a nano second.

I never said it was.

I simply pointed out a blatant example of the cognitive dissonance on display when protectionist trade policy aimed at protecting U.S. industries makes no sense when (at the same time) we look to hamper EXPORTS from productive, wealth-generating domestic industries.

I know exactly how it works. It's called classical fascism.

"I want to get paid as much as possible for what I produce, but I want the government to impose policies that force others to sell me the sh!t I want for as little as possible."

Marx predicted what is now happening in the USA. Of course at the time he was speaking about the UK but it goes like this, free trade would destroy domestic industry leading to workers having less and less economic leverage. As a result they will be pushed futher left and over time you have a socialist country which is a way station to full blown communism.

With oil prices down to $76, why doesn’t Biden start refilling the Strategic Oil Reserves?

Fascism you say? Let’s see. In 1789 the first law EVER passed was the Tariff Act. Signed by George himself. What a bunch of fascists. /sarc

I know. I am 100% on board with tariffs on imports.

The point I was trying to make relates to export controls, not tariffs.

Stay focused, dude. :-0

"About 9 renminbi right now."
One Renminbi equals 0.14 U.S. dollar (14 cents).
