Well, I won't agree about koolaid, but ... heck man, how can we have free trade that is FAIR trade, if they are using prison labor, artificially manipulating their currency to undercut us, not following even the most BASIC environmental and labor safety rules, and so on?
Free trade should mean fair trade, too. And it doesn't. We are exporting our last category of jobs to India and Asia -- white collar jobs. What will we do for work? We're busy destroying the American middle class as quickly as possible! That's not a sensible thing to do. We'll head the way of Argentina.
I've actually had some diehard Unfair Traders tell me that when all the white collar jobs are gone, we'll all just be CEO's. Now, how much sense does that make???
