Obama is spouting Free Trade dogma and TPP on a live broad cast. Rush Limbaugh must have written his speech. I see no difference between Obama and the Free Trade cadre on Free Republic. No difference. All globalist, kumbaya.
Obama: "Free Trade is here to stay" We'll see....
Thank you! You are right! Was right in my face!
A moslem cokehead with a secret gay past, raised by a communist terror cell, says trump is unfit. Got it.
Free Trade = We trade our jobs for Wall Street profits.
The best way that the globalist elites can prevent a nationalist breakthrough is to keep up the charade of "liberal" vs. "conservative" by politely arguing about secondary issues with one another (e.g. the Obama/Romney non-debates), creating the illusion of choice to voters when what you really have is a two-winged internationalist uniparty.
Birds of a feather... The kenyan and TPA Teddy Cruz have shocking amount of things in common.
According to the false criteria of uniparty, Obama and Cruz are allegedly polar opposites, because Cruz's Holy Man act makes him a "conservative." What better way to maintain the false image of choice in elections when the Elijah Mohammed Barry and Elmer Gantry Jr. are both fighting the same fight on trade, immigration, and foreign policy.
Recent trade deals have been mis-labeled. They are not FREE Trade. They are negotiated corporatist trade where they pick winners and losers. For example, in Clinton’s NAFTA, there was no FREE Trade for Canadian oil thanks to a corridor of Democrat Senators from WI-MN-ND-MT-WA.
Trump has always said that he could negotiate a better deal. Free Trade would be a better deal than the special interest negotiated deals of the past.
Listening to this Free Trader talk is not good for my blood pressure.
The meek Singaporean guy just spewed more Smoot Hawley lies. Man this Free Trade thing is ridiculous.
Once you institute a tax on the citizens a tariff becomes a double tax by default and the economy starts it’s demise down the drain as a result, we need a repeal of the income tax then go back to original funding of fed gov in a form that encourages fed-gov to actually patrol the borders and ports....
That would be the constitutional method which means a tariff.
But then fed-gov would have to tighten it’s belt.... and that will never happen until it collapses and is FORCED to...
How does a tariff adversely affect the economy? It may adversely affect the economy of a foreign country but not ours.
[ How does a tariff adversely affect the economy? It may adversely affect the economy of a foreign country but not ours. ]
It normally doesn’t unless we have an national income tax and other national taxes and regs, then it is another tax on top of many, but the solution is not to remove a tariff, the solution is to remove all the other INTERNAL taxes and keep the tariff.
TPP is absolutely NOT free trade. It is managed trade and it is mercantilistic. It bears little relationship with Free Trade. It is an appropriate instrument for modern Crony Capitalism, which is just the ancient Mercantile System by stealth.
