While we do not quite have "free" trade yet (it's managed trade), it still gives us cheap products. If we had a free monetary system (i.e. competing currencies w/o taxing exchange gains and without taxing gold gains) any imbalance would be self correcting in the marketplace. No one complained when RE was going up, but the free marketplace is correcting the imbalance, if the US govt would just step aside. Scott, you answered your own question.

All of our High paying jobs are gone. All we see is cheap China, Mexico, etc. made products. It may be good business for big Co's, but for the ave. working stiff it's the pitts. This needs to stop. As soon as Bush's war stops, things could possibly get back to normal. May Election time come quick.

NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA, and the many others that have been introduced are barriers to FREE TRADE, they create unnecessary bureaucracy and impede trade while selling out America and reducing our sovereignty in the eyes of those who truly understand where our power lies. If you have not learned by now that President bush does not have the best interest of the American people in his mind then nothing will remove the blinders that have been place upon you. I only pray that the people realize the chance that has been presented to them, Ron Paul is a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure prosperity for generations to come. Trey,

See Congressman Paul is a free trader from all i have heard him say and i am a free trader too. I think you are wrong on this issue. trey, so tell me are you sure that Ron Paul “voted against the free trade agreements that President Bush has negociated”?

Diplomatic engagement is always the correct move to make. President Bush isn't isolating America from the global economy, he's isolating our enemies from the global economy. There is a huge difference. We do have enemies that do not care how good we are, they are still going to be evil. I'm pretty sure that Congressman Paul voted AGAINST majority of the free trade agreements that President Bush negociated, and were finally approved by Congress. And he says he'll expand trade with any country that wants to do business with us? If he truly wanted to do that he would have voted FOR all of the free trade agreements that President Bush negociated. British PM Chamberlain used “engagement,” and that was a mistake.
