I've been trying to point out that "free market" and "free trade" are two completely different animals. You explained it better than most! Thank you!

Hmmm. It was your posts that clarified the distinction for me. I had it in mind but couldn't put my finger on it. lol

We need some economist types in here to draw that out. That ain't me! ; )

LOL. Glad I could help (as did you!)

Well, I've had more training in that field than I care to admit. But in the scholarly world of economics, you will find many conflicting opinions about a single subject. I'm not sure more conflicting opinions are going to help, LOL.
