The trade figures just came in for June. The trade deficit shot to
$43.8 billion. Take out the $20 billion surplus in services, it was a
$64 billion deficit in goods, pointing to a 2015 trade deficit of $750 billion
in things Americans make with their hands, tools, machines.
This has been going on since Bush 41. And the correlation between
these trade deficits and the trade deals our elites have negotiated is
absolute. Trump says our negotiators have been getting their clocks cleaned
by the Japanese, Chinese and Mexicans.
Is Donald Trump wrong when he says we are losing our country and
that something must be done about this?
Or are free trade and open borders now articles of faith, defined
dogma, denial of which gets you excommunicated from the Republican Party?
