“Head up my ass”? Seriously Junior?
Dont worry. I’m old enough to remember when virtually everything we bought was made here.
Things werent expensive. Perhaps you recall. Maybe not. Sad...
Free Trade was never sold in this country as being about “cheeper crap”.
It was sold as a way for the U.S to expand markets.
Supposedly they were gonna buy from us. “A billion new customers” was how Chinese trade opening was sold around 1979-80ish. Oh they might get a few of our jobs too..but they need those to buy our stuff, you know?
It was all BS and you know it. 500 billion per year trade deficit? No one mentioned that.
And neither do you. Because thats the part that doesnt fit the meme.
Free trade with The third world has two goals: create allies who are interdependent and counteract each other (india and china for example); and secondly, break the American Unions and reduce their membership to begging for jobs.
Both goals were met by 2000. The globalists have celebrated 16 years of massive profits for themselves, the dimunition of American electoral power in favor of transnational organizations, and the rise of militant former basket case countries who are vested in the system since it primarily benefits them. Which it was supposed ti do.Read the WTO charter, for example.
Your worn out retorts are simply nonsense. The New World Order is not about the pursuit of neo-modern economic theories. Its about global government by the few, and the suppression of the Little People in America who actually got some leverage in the period 1776-1976.
Americans are the Enemy of this System. The forces behind it want to make sure we never have that power again, and we remain chronically in debt, slowly sinking. Make America Great Again is not their aim.
Quite the contrary.
I remember all those “made in America” signs in Wal-Mart.
We export over $2T in goods and services each year. Someone's buying, and American producers see Asia as their great new growth opportunity.
Do you really want to shut it down?
I’m old enough to remember when you bought something it both worked and lasted. Unlike the single use crap prevalent today.
Also remember how free trade was sold.
