In reading through all these posts I wonder why the Republican
elite and policy makers don't get it yet on "free trade". It simply cannot bring the open markets for US goods it was sold on. I agree with other posts. If the Republicans really are intent on staying in power past 2004, they have to revisit this issue.

The use of enterprise zones and traffis to retaliate against nations that engage in currency controls or have tarriffs against our goods has a long Republican pedigree and was a traditional Democrat agrument against Republicans. Now I am suggesting the Republican Party adopt a non socialist stance and remove teh government interference in the free market within the USA and enact those measures necessary to bring presure to bear on those nations which trade with us to cease and desist in the artificial propping up of their markets to dump goods and dervices in teh USA to increase teh investment in their nation.
