Sorry for the vanity but Rush did a 180 on trade today and I am proud of him.
Rush confessed he was wrong all of these decades about trade, live on air just a few minutes ago! He also admitted Perot was correct and the the one sided trade the US( and its workers ) have been subjected to was wrong and it was erroneously pawned off as 'free trade'. He said he was duped by economists.
I just listened in amazement committing free trade heresy live. It was a great radio show today! Awesome!
Rush is off my S list. He is big man for doing this.

What I heard him say was that he is in favor of actual free trade, but that NAFTA wasn’t it.

It’s funny he would do that just a day after Trump admitted his trade war was asinine and begged for a truce from the EU.

...
Economists are worse than climate scientists when it comes to promoting government scams.

He said the one sided tariff situation (status quo for decades) was pawed off as free trade and he had erroneously bought off on it. I heard him. So did you.

Oh, so Trump was begging as you saw it. I thought he was successfully negotiating.

I didn’t hear today, but I distinctly recall Rush laughing at Perot and saying “Al Gore made mincement of Perot” or something to that effect
Like it was yesterday. Perot continually interrupting Algor and to his credit, Algor for once being a gentleman about something
Yeah, I thought most of us now see that NAFTA was a disaster. AMERICA FIRST FAIR TRADE MAGA

Wow, he was mercilous on Perot for the giant sucking sound comment. He even pretended his TV was moved to Mexico the day NAFTA was passed as an extra dig.

Odd, Perot was the person who coined the phrase "giant sucking sound" when NAFTA was signed. Tariff-free trade between the U.S. and Mexico meant that U.S. manufacturers could ship parts to Mexico duty-free, have them assembled into finished products, then shipped back to the U.S. duty-free again. The giant sucking sound was U.S. manufacturing jobs being sucked south of the border to Mexico. I think time has proven Perot to be absolutely correct in this.
Tariff-free trade with an equal partner such as the E.U. makes sense, but tariff-free trade with a partner who has vastly different wage and living standards only invites exploitation of those wage differences at the expense of the higher living standard workers.
So which part did Rush say he was wrong about?

I got many, many invitations to go “back to the DU” because I believed free trade was leading us down the path to ruin.

It was definitely a 180. It takes big man to do that. Free Traitors™ are religious zealots. He committed free trade heresy live on air! You could feel the catharsis.

I remember this. I loved Perot. “NAFTA? We don’t hafta!”
