Absolutely not! I work for my money and I should have the freedom to buy what I want and if that means a car made in China with parts from North Korea or Cuban cigars then I should have the freedom to do so , besides, true free trade would expand commerce, not restrict and that would help our economy grow, what we have now is NOT free trade, it's managed trade.

it is possible that true free trade might expand commerce on an international scale, but countries have to concern themselves with the prosperity within their borders. introducing externalities to commerce is the way which governments employ a nation's economy to serve the concern of national prosperity. do you believe that a world economy is realistic? what makes you think that true free trade will make our economy grow?
Most likely it depends on the goods, antagon...and matters of world economics that're beyond me. As to agriculture, I see little reason the US should be importing food stuffs. We ought to prefer to eat our own. Light manufacturing, I think, needs protecting to some degree at least. Heavy manufacturing, no. If we cannot marshall the natural resources and economies of scale, then we should prolly buy foreign made goods.
Yay or Nay?
How?
Why? Why not?

Linkiepoo, or it didn't happen.
The terms 'Protectionism' and 'Isolationism' have been bastardized for so long by dishonest politicians that i think their meanings have been distorted forever. Most people use these terms to describe anything or anyone who doesn't fully support unfettered Globalism and Interventionism. In my humble opinion,a bit more 'Protectionism' and 'Isolationism' are exactly what this country needs at this point. I am vehemently opposed to unfettered Globalism and Interventionism.
