Cato also does not advocate government "free trade" deals over unfettered free trade by individuals. They do advocate "freer" trade than we currently have. If that means saying a free trade agreement is better than the old government command and control tarrifs and trade restrictions on the way to true free trade, they do it.
Then we'll be stuck with the democrats for another 40 years.
No difference as far as I can tell. The slide into oblivion has been even faster under these people.
How reassuring. Except that's exactly what free trade deals with third world countries is, or haven't you noticed? Companies dump Americans, move to China, pay workers .20 an hour then flood our markets with those products at the same price as when they were made here. Now's who getting rich thanks to government sanctioned policies?
There was a time not long ago when we would slap tariffs on companies who did that to protect American jobs. Now people like you and the Cato Institute call it "free trade". Sure it is.
