If I had said that protectionism and trade barriers were the pathway to prosperity, that would have been “silly spin and cluelessness”.


If I had thought what we’ve been calling free trade is FAIR TRADE, that would be “silly spin and cluelessness.”

‘Fair Trade’ is just another excuse for high tariffs and other barriers to trade to ‘protect’ American jobs. The reality is that ‘Fair Trade’ is just a euphemism for using government to transfer wealth from one group of Americans to another group. I cannot see how a true conservative would support such measures.
