free trade is great.
Free trade is only one direction.
China gets to free trade America.
America does not get to free trade China back. China protects it’s markets, and it’s now the largest export economy on the entire planet. Americans cannot export things to China, without going through a huge monstrosity of import restrictions, during which time China learns now to make the thing, at which point they make it themselves.
America we have been sold out, by the people making the decisions about global trade.
They do not have America’s best interests in mind, it seems.
At all.
Sadly the GOP is going right along with the sell-off.
If democrats are alone in standing up for America on the issue of America’s trade position, I fear the GOP will be completely destroyed.
I am not kidding.
Not one bit.
