Yes definitely

Marginally

Not at all...Corporate cronyism and capitalist are good!

You can only vote on one answer.

Here in Malaysia, hoggish politicians in collusion with corporate moguls are bringing in Bangla workers because they don't want to pay higher, appropriate wages to local Malaysians. How does free trade affect you in your country/ries?

@shoes Returning to the economic policies that worked for the US from th 1790s till the Reagan administration is idiotic? The reason why the US and Canada have been getting their asses handed to them is because everyone else is doing that but us. And if we don't do it manufacturing will be gone permanently and soon most of the other jobs will be too. The other problem is low prices don't mean anything when a country becomes completely de-industrialized and can no longer afford even cheap stuff. The MSM says that the market is slowing in China but that is not true. They are just coming to the realization that the "1st world" is flat broke and are reorganizing to sell to other markets that actually have money. Don't get me wrong I think Trump is an idiot but with this one thing someone working for him actually knows how economics works.
