Seems being protectionism over free market. I've argued a few this will make the growth slow, have the creative minds more lazy, and in the longer run make the US even less competitive in the longer run. It seems to me they believe the US will come out as the winners, history tells another story.
Excuse me? Are you saying our Government doesn't know best? Are you saying Trump is not our father? He provides and has a much better mind than any of us.
Or else he wouldn't have been elected by the stupidest constituency ever created.
"Free markets" is a meaningless propaganda phrase.
True free markets would include baby selling, privately issued currency ("I'll trade you 3 Fred Bucks for 2 Sol's Dinars"), Mafia-style violence ("It's just business"), snake oil liniment sold as a cancer cure, and a myriad of other things no civilized society would want.
When people bleat "Four legs good, two legs better"...er, "free markets", what they are really referring to is the positive benefits of COMPETITIVE MARKETS, where the collective actions of sellers and buyers tend to create lower prices and higher quality over time.
Unfortunately, what most sheep don't recognize is the two are NOT synonomous and "free markets" very rarely spontaneously turn into competitive markets. It takes a large number of preconditions to produce competitive markets, many of which participants in free markets will fight tooth and nail to avoid.
