Mark McBride on Free Trade

Independent Senate challenger


I am not a free trader; nothing in life is free

I am not a free trader. Didn't your grandmother tell you that nothing in life is free? Well, in international trade the truth could not be any clearer. Consider 2006 Free Trade:Free Trade has destroyed our manufacturing base. We must have a manufacturing sector that is vibrant.

NAFTA, CAFTA and the WTO need to go away

All of our trade policies have to be addressed and reanalyzed. NAFTA, CAFTA and the WTO need to go away. There are more important things than foreign trade: Patriotism, Security and Sovereignty. The Founding Fathers understood this. Washington, Jefferson and Madison never opposed trade, however trade was on OUR terms to the benefit of the American citizen. The American people were what was important and should be again.
