If I get to choose between “Free Trade” and financing a trillion dollar trade deficit that goes along with it with high taxes, or a tariff and no trade deficit, I will choose the tariff. Call me AN AMERICAN!
"Financing" a trade deficit? Do you even know what a trade deficit is? All a trade deficit means is we (individual Americans) give them (Chinese manufacturers) money and they give us *stuff* - useful stuff. Guess what - I have a trade deficit with my local Wal-Mart. There's nothing wrong with that.
What are you talking about?
I have a large trade deficit with the local grocery stores. Last year I bought over $6,000 of stuff from them, yet they bought nothing from me. My credit rating is 827. Should I be worried?
