Given what you know about the importance of comparative and absolute advantage in free exchanges what affect do you think that would have?
How about on the division of labor?
Do you have any historical evidence that America is better off when “trade deficits” are lower or zero?
If we cut off all trade with China, but it was simply replaced with trade from other foreign sources what policy would you suggest next to end trade with countries other than America?
I am advocating we, balance our trade with China.
Balance.
If China refuses to balance our trade, then we can talk about cutting off trade, but I believe you would find a whole huge lot of Americans who are deeply uncomfortable about current trends.
We run a massive trade deficit with a nation, which doesn’t even grant Americans equal rights.
That nation has a massive population.
I am deeply concerned that neither American party seems to care one bit, about our own nation.
Not Republicans. Not democrats. Nobody.
Someone stand forward for America.
I sure hope the party to do so first, is the Republicans.
That is all I am saying.
I see ZERO evidence of that so far.
