Keep waving that protectionist flag for Donald Trump. A person can have economic freedom without political freedom, as many in China do, but one cannot be truly free without having economic freedom. The founders of our nation understand that principle. Ronald Reagan and Milton Friedman understood that concept and applied it in the roaring 1980s. The lesson of the Reagan recovery was apparently lost on you and Donald Trump.

It's ironic that you would be objecting to my support of free trade and economic freedom on Independence Day.

Still better than being just plain lost, you sidestepped my post and tried to deflect, again. NAFTA, which I have always opposed, does not allow for free trade and it's big brother TPP (pun intended), will be truly onerous. I will give you this, the transitory link between the 80's and today was the free trade agreement signed in Dec of '93. It was additionally, the precursor of globalism which in turn will usher in the one world government. Not the founders, nor Friedman, nor Reagan, nor Trump would think Independence Day has the first thing to do with this thing you call free trade, which is anything but free.

How can something be free when it is tightly regulated? It might be homogenous, but it certainly isn't free.
