Sask | Yes, you understand Morningdew, yet about 98% of the population doesn't. All they say is "we must have free trade" because the teevee says so.
Have to produce everything you need? How so, why is that the only option? How about a means to govern how trade is done? Is that possible? Or is the only answer that everything must be "free trade"?
So Germany is creating about $1T out of thin air and is free money that they will pump into their economy to prop up big corporations so companies like VW can "free trade" the crap out other nations. Claas too I suppose. Or let me guess, government spending crap tons of money on its economy does not impact "free trade" with other nations in any shape or form.
Yeah, we have lots of trade experts out there. Yet no one figures this one out.
How about coal or lumber trade between the US and Canada? Do we "free trade" that part of the economy?
What say everyone? Cheapest producer gets the market.
When $us/$can swings from 1.6 to 0.8 in 20 years how should the lumber mills operate? Scale up for one range, close down for the other and disappear. Coal mines are alot more expensive to close and sell off, then find out 10 years later their exports could be back if mine was open. Maybe government should just regulate the operations so they don't scale up when currency exchange says they have a bigger market.
And the best part: the currency exchange rate is controlled by a private, unaccountable group, so even the government can not manage its economy and trade - and the solution to that is "free trade". Yeah, I can't think of a worse option, but 98% of people say it is the ultimate way to operate. Your industry gets destroyed but apparently there is no better option.
