What is it Pat Buccanan (SP?)said?

We export beans to China and they ship us computers. The U.S. trade profile looks like a banana republic.

In ten years the freetraders have given it all away.

A banana republic is a nation that sells only ONE PRODUCT. E.g. Central American countries that only export bananas or Saudi A that only exports oil. Our trade profile to China does not signify that.
