If we buy more from them, they’ll have money to buy from us. See how that works?

The same argument was used to justify trade with China. See how that works?

We sold them $12 billion in 1996, $55 billion in 2006.

Yes.

We can either buy from China, which is an enemy, or buy from Colombia, which is a loyal and faithful pro-American friend. Because we are going to buy from one of them. You decide.

Well, yeah. China’s going increasingly capitalist, our economy is booming, unemployment is holding at record lows, and I save fifteen to twenty percent on purchases I make at Wal-Mart.

Good times.
