If you do not see the error of your thinking, I question you understanding of fair trade. If you do know that error I question your motive for posting such anti-conservative drivel.
My understanding of “fair trade” is that it’s anti-conservative drivel.
It can be used to justify just about any tariff or quota you want to implement. Someone’s ox is always getting gored. The one that screams the loudest or, more likely, makes the largest campaign contribution, gets satisfaction.
Look at the current tariff imbroglio. Certain steelmakers benefit. Car makers and any producer of other products made from steel are essentially penalized in the world market. You can play this game forever, and it certainly isn’t conservative. More like the power plays that liberals are always making.
