Sloppy trade agreements don’t create a level playing field.
Posted by: Wayne in 2008 Issues, Due Diligence, EconomyThis dated article “American manufacturers deserve a level playing field with China” from Highbeam Research discusses the problems with a Gun ho approach to free trade. Free trade is great but opening up US markets to overseas markets and not having their markets opened to US products is not free trade [1]. It is a misuse of the word: like undocumented immigrant, guest worker program (based on applications of people in the country illegally) … A enumerated list would go on and on, ad infinitum. This misuse of words is a skill the McClintons [5] have and use “Sex”[3], “Amnesty”[2] to consider a few … again to try to enumerate them would make for a depressing article on the current state of US politics. [6]
Free trade by definition is a level playing field “a market model in which trade in goods and services between or within countries flow unhindered by government-imposed restrictions.”; Do policy makers understand that? Are they intentionally being dishonest to force agreements onto the citizens of the US which actually serve a different purpose? [4]
