I have a question about our re-negotiation of trade deals with our neighbors.
I first will state that I think Trump has been an unmitigated disaster. Anyone who reads my posts would know this but I didn’t want anyone to think I was being coy.
In that spirit, I am asking what I think is a serious question concerning the re-negotiation of our Trade Deals. I am not sure why we would want to do that.
One thing has been vividly clear over the past 30-50 years. Our standard of living is such that our producers and their employees have to make more money than something produced in the third world. If we tear up the trade deals and say we want to re-work it; that frees up our trading partners to go shopping elsewhere, right?
If we can be so easily undercut; why would they still buy from us?
