No, I said exactly what I meant - the government's job is to protect us from our enemies - not ingage in business or manipulating business. Read what I say - not what you want it to say. And yes, close the borders - it isn't the competition for my job I am concerned about - it is the competition for my tax dollars. I can only make somuch and forgive me if I think it should go first to my family and not be taken from me by force to entice foreigners here. Read what I say - don't interpret - I don't use big words -
[As to the subsidizing of people by government, THAT is the problem, address it and you will have addressed the correct problem. }
Now if you really read what I say - you will note that has been my premise all along. We do not have free trade - we have manipulated trade. Now that you have admitted that - why are you espousing the great things free trade has accomplished when we have not seen it in action.
Are you for or against free trade? That is to say, freer than now. Forget about whether it is free now or not, which is a different question.
Less restrictions or more? Allowing me to trade freely with someone of another country?
