To promote the lowering of trade barriers, such as this latest proposal from the Bush administration: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A41291-2002Nov26.html
why does the taxpayers have to pay that person unemployment for 2 years and train them for another job - no government interference here - just free trade.
Then what you're arguing against is government interference, not free trade. Don't let yourself be fooled just because the bureaucrats steal the title for their purposes...
Well, right. Sounds good. Not sure that is the government job. But,hey, we hey we use almost no taxpayer's dollars for this did we? I mean it is just some little old meetings" Right? Why isn't this being done by business if we are talking - FREE TRADE.

Ahhhh. Now you are talking!! But it seems it is not only the bureaucrats that are misusing the title for their purposes. But there seems to be some on here who have tried to argue free trade when they know that is not what we have. It is also all those people who are making money off it. I was never fooled. This has been my premise all along. And I have never tried to fool anyone by arguing for or against FREE TRADE, when that is not what we have. I have argued against the situation we now have. Now we have agreed what we have is not FREE TRADE. Why are we arguing that it is a good thing - since it is only a theory - certainly not a fact.
