Ben, by 1985 this nation was the most successful nation on the face of mother earth. We didn’t have trading partnerships with pariah states like China, and we didn’t have NAFTA, and we didn’t have FTAA.
I don’t mind trade with other nations. It just makes no sense to sell our souls on issue like this. China? For crying out loud Ben. Take a good look at that nation, what’s it’s doing even today...
I don’t buy into this Ben. I don’t approve of opening our borders, multi-nation security agreements and FTAA.
Sorry bud, I’m not buying it.
You can spend your time giving me excuse after excuse why all this makes wonderful logical sense, and I’ll still not approve.
By the 1970s this nation's comparative trade advantage had seriously eroded. That is why she turned to bilateral trade.
