Free trade leads to prosperity for the masses. Protectionism leads to economic crashes.

Watch the grand master dissect and explain why. A must watch for anyone who still don't know why Trump's proposal will lead to disaster.

I don't need to watch the videos to know the difference between meaningless sound bites and actual plans.

NAfTA is not free trade. If there has to be government passed legislation then it is not free trade.

You are aware, are you not, that NAFTA stands for North America Free Trade Agreement?

Which idiot told you that government cannot pass free trade legislation?

You are aware, are you not, that because something has the phrase free trade in it, doesn't mean it's really free trade? I guess you aren't.

Milton Friedman also said that you can have illegal immigration and you can have welfare but you cannot have both.

What we have is managed trade not free trade. You do not need 5000 pages to dictate the terms of trade.
Also in Capitalism, all parties are entitled to a say and labor and citizens never had a say in the agreements.
Only corporate and banking heads had a say.

That is not free trade but fascism

NAFTA is not free trade. It's government controlled trade. To trade freely you do not need the government to tell you what you can and can not trade.

You know this though.
