      From: video61atarisales@gmail.com              the free traders have dropped all pretenses about faux caring about farmers,       the poor, any humanitarian concerns, the environment, even trump and putin,       and are concentrating on nafta billy clintons partners, the country club GOP,       that has no clue their        rank and file despise them as much as they despise the nafta democrats.              what really matters today is that the revolt against free trade is       accelerating beyond even what i thought would happen. the looks of complete       bewilderment on the faces of free traders is priceless. they are like deer in       the headlights having that        woodrew wilson moment              "this is the situation today: The domestic markets of these foreign producers       have neither the size nor the wealth to support their own industries. As they       undercut U.S. production, however, they will gradually weaken the American       economic base that they        have come to depend on. Rather than a self-sustaining, self-reinforcing       process, this new relationship becomes self-liquidating."              US consumer bust shrinks world trade       China’s second-quarter exports decline had nothing to do with re-shoring,       contrary to some economic commentary              https://asiatimes.com/2023/08/us-consumer-bust-shrinks-world-trade/              US consumer bust shrinks world trade       China’s second-quarter exports decline had nothing to do with re-shoring,       contrary to some economic commentary       by David P.
