Mexican senator aims to hit U.S. for Trump's 'big lie' on NAFTA

16. Free trade is not a conservative policy ..

It was originally a liberal policy - born from FDR democratic policy. Conservatives co-opted it and it has now become "conservative".

If you want the true conservative approach to trade, feel free to read any backward Pat Buchanan piece on economics.

And we benefit from FTA's. Any one claiming otherwise is being disingenuous.

Are FTA's perfect? no. But they should seek to improve with time.

Could more be done to mitigate *the harmful effects of fTA's on the losers in any market model ? - sure.

But Protectionism and Isolationism are not the answer.

And you still don't get it - this is not just about corn, this is about fostering good relationships with our trade partners by not antagonizing them unfairly.
