When you say “free trade”, what do you mean exactly? What exactly do you think should be different?
Thanks for asking - that’s a pretty important question.
True free trade, would be a good thing. Certainly free trade should be practiced - ruthlessly even - within our national border.
Let all Americans compete fair and square, and let the best claim the biggest rewards.
But what we have now, is a wholesale selling of our NATION.
By a few. Costing all of us, our future.
There is nothing “free” about the global trade system. It is rigged entirely, from every direction, against America.
All our so called partners, are protectionist.
Many blatantly racist, in national policy.
Yet we go along, sending our technology, jobs, factories and knowledge.
To people planning our demise.
We need to drop the pretense, and adopt reciprocal trade.
Without apology. And without compromise.
Want to sell stuff in America?
Then buy stuff from us.
Buy 50 million as a nation from the USA?
OK you can sell 50 million US dollar equivalents of zloties, or whatever currency, here.
Buy 10 million more, sell 10 million more.
We need to stop this process of giving away everything valuable which America has built over our history, before we cannot anymore.
Before there is nothing valuable left.
That point, is very rapidly approaching.
If we wait until we truly have no more jobs, no more money and no more factories.
We’re well and truly finished as a nation.
It will at that point, be too late for us all.
And frankly, too late for the world.
That light is in fact, an approaching train.
