2. How can you have "free trade" with a principle player on the global stage
Edited on Fri Nov-06-09 01:30 PM by kenny blankenship
that maintains an artificially low valuation for its currency - and hence artificially low prices for its goods?

Free Trade is a dirty joke.

(And yeah, we're the only country that actually follows "free trade" as an officially sanctioned & enforced ideology, other countries are protectionist as they want to be. We don't follow "free trade" because we're just honest, fair minded, law abiding folk and the others are not; on the contrary, we follow the insane doctrine of "free trade" because it is the chief weapon used in the class warfare practiced against workers in this country. Free Trade is a Weapon of Mass Disenfranchisement)
