Reply #16: As an MBA Who Believes in the Benefits of Free Trade, [View All]

I have to say no, I am not at all worried at all about the concerns that have been raised.

Free trade is not a policy that you should put in place unexamined. Politicians who care about their citizens have to look for ways free trade does not serve the best interests of the country or help citizens.

There are a lot of ways to address the trade imbalance and the negative impact of exporting jobs. The particular proposals you hear may not always the best, but they have to be considered alongside the status quo. Hopefully a new set of policies will emerge that will help the American worker without sacrificing the benefits of increased trade.

I would be more concerned if none of these things were not even on the radar. As it is, laissez-faire economics is not questioned and put to the test nearly often enough.
