  • Just another puppet

  • Anyone who argues for Protectionism has clearly never studied economics or knows the dire effects it can cause when implimented.

    Before you comment and go on about "oursourcing" and jobs losses. Pick up an economics book and properly study the complex subject before you make up your mind

  • free us. socialism or nothing

  • CCCP

  • someone smart please help me

    ANY GUYS UP? Y2

  • Painful effects... of "contributing" to the global economy (ie. filling the pockets of just over one thousand billionaires).

    That's free trade.

  • FU BUSH! The totally corrupt BS concept called "Free Trade" has nothing to do with Freedom, Democracy or Jobs.

    The concept is "Deregulation" and what created the current economic collapse with bailing out Failed Billion Dollar Institutions while rewarding and allowing the Top & Middle Managers to escape Accountability!

    Notice how "Free Trade" pushers never call it "Deregulated Trade". Deregulation or what is "Unregulated Trade" strictly states and is strictly prohibited in the US Constitution.

  • yeah, free trade. who needs jobs?

  • Primarily what happens under the totally corrupt BS concept of "Free Trade". Unregulated Markets allow for a nation's currency to flow off shore unregulated, allowing for off shore banking.
