Support for trade is dropping like a stone among the republican base (2 to 1 against), especially teabaggers (2 1/2 to 1 against), less so for Democrats (a plurality of whom still support it). Are we not as smart as teabaggers? Are we just more brainwashed than they are? Or are we living in the past or in a dream world?
There has to be a reason why the right wingers in the US and Europe has figured out that 'free trade' is bad, while liberals (both here and there) have been slower to reach that conclusion that you endorse. What is it?
BTW, when you post in opposition to 'free trade' do you mean pretty much all of our trade as it exists today or just the US' trade with the 18 countries with whom we have 'free trade agreements'?
