If free trade is so good - why don't China and India practice it? Why are their economies growing much faster than ours? They're doing what the US did- protecting their economies behind a tariff wall. Eventually, they will have to lower tariffs as their populations get richer.
And the reason their economies are growing so much faster than ours is because they're starting from a much lower level. Anyway, why is it a bad thing if the Indians or Chinese end up rich?

These out-sourced jobs would be excellent for the uneducated welfare bums who say they cant find work, so they must suck off of working taxpayers.
I say bring these low-paying, low-demand, jobs back and make the welfare people work at them.

Anyway, why is it a bad thing if the Indians or Chinese end up rich? It is only bad if their riches come from American pockets. Which is what is happening presently.
