b/c you are arguing pie in the sky...it's literally not worth debating...my argument is that what you pose would never work in practice in the real world...but please by all means keep pushing it....

It's sad that someone can mockingly write this without realizing how rational, moral, and industrious the concept really is...

*sigh*

You still have no basis for rebuttal. Why does the free exchange of goods and services require a State?

To get their piece of the pie and monitor what everyone is doing?

Are you suggesting I ignore federal trade laws and simply conduct business as I see fit?

Are you the owner of a funeral home looking to drum up business?

US getting left behind with trump's only-America mindset.

Funny how Trump seems to almost be targeting his own supporters, one would think he would go after Liberals, but he seems intent on hurting our agribusinesses and manufacturing.

I wonder what Trump and his family are getting out of this?

Worth adding a bunch of us so called ignorant liberals called this last year.

CAN /MEX are smart enough to stall any new deal until a real American is back in Office. It is not 30 years ago, CAN?MEX can make deals with lots partners who have advanced greatly in the last few decades. Maize , Soy, Pork we are already losing millions of dollars due to Trump talking big but having nothing to back it up with.

TPP, trump threw away that leverage just to get a some IP rights for his daughter. Seems a few buck for his family is worth more than a massive 16 nation alliance that would have forced China to make much more fair trade deals. instead TPP goes ahead without us and they are unwilling to let us back in, just like the other deals Trump has broken....

TRump is giving away our global leadership position he is literally teaching our allies that they can do fine without us and he is giving our competitors an open door to take over our markets.

Trump has shown the world they had better make sure they are not overly reliant on the US, thus they are casting wider nets in their deal making to avoid giving Trump any power in future...

Trump is real short termer, a guy who thinks about looking good today at almost any future cost.

It's not just liberals, bud.

Pretty much 100% of economists saw this coming, and most of them are conservative or libertarian.
