Since when has PJB become an advocate of free trade? His analysis is sound, though hardly original; many others have said and written the same thing for years.
Buchanan has always advocated free trade. He has always been careful to point out that what we have right now, with federal reserve jiggered credit and special international deals for corporations is nothing like a free market system. Yeah its free market for the little people, after the big guys have made their own arrangments in their own sphere. The AIG - Goldman Sachs conspiracy is not just a paranoid delusion.
