A discussion about international trade quickly moves into a thoughtless ranting by those who say there is only one credible view on trade and that is the view of free trade. You are either for free trade or you are somebody who doesnt quite understand. You are an xenophobic isolationist who wants to build walls around Americayou are either that or you are a free trader. I happen to believe expanded trade. in the form of fair trade. makes sense for this country. so I am someone who believes that we benefit from reciprocal trade with other countries. that trade with other countries can be mutually beneficial. But I also believe it hurts our country when we have trade circumstances that exist when we trade with another country and they ship all their goods to our marketplace and then we discover what we produce. our workers and our businesses. cant get our goods into their marketplace.
Identified stereotypes
Those who disagree with free trade are xenophobic isolationists.
