Unfortunately dogmatic Free Traitors™ can never learn. They think US made iphones would cost $10,000 each and Smoot-Hawley started the Great Depression.

Free Trade is based on a pack of lies.

Yep - they have turned it into international welfare.

It’s just as unrealistic to think that any “fair” trade, which I am for, would not involve major adjustments by everyone. No, an iPhone won’t cost $10,000, but it sure won’t be $50. No, tomatoes won’t be $10 each, but they won’t be two for a dollar.

At the same time, American labor would have jobs available at wages that are competitive, but not $30 an hour to do landscaping. There will be adjustments on both sides, but eventually a man will be able to again make a “living wage” without needing a college degree in engineering.
