Yes, we agree on the concepts, but not the solutions. I'm anti-globalization. I say that the US has every right to protect its interests throughout the world. I think the US should protects its own people first. However, US trade laws are greatly benefitting business at the expense of its own consumer, which is a downward spiral of doom. As the middle class shrinks, so will the ability of the consumer to afford the goods. It's going to hurt the US economy eventually.
