Trade is not a panacea and these trade deals make us poorer

Why not ensure that the workers here in this country have the means to buy the things they produce before we go searching the world for customers?

Thanks for saying that, Mike.

MMTer's talk a lot about the importance of monetary sovereignty. It's time to also recognize the importance of regulatory sovereignty, something that is effectively neutered by free trade deals.

Great post Mike.

Obviously the term "free trade" is a misnomer of the highest degree.
