Pat Buchanan, Ross Perot, Donald Trump and you and me are all old school. Production and producers made America great. Not consumption and consumers. Today’s economy is out of whack, tilted towards consumers. And you can include the Federal Government as a giant degenerate consumer that steals from the future (via borrowing) to fund present day consumption.

Glad you join you with those who put America first in war and in trade.

Those who oppose free trade advocate shutting off global markets to US companies.

Given that our country, with less than 5% of of the world’s population, generates more than 20% of the world’s output, that would be a major, major blow to the producers in America.

Just look at the tech sector alone, where we are global leaders in providing software and services, especially. Make that sector face massive retaliatory tariffs, and you’d be destroying a majority of that business.
