America has always needed a reason to fund its military-industrial complex, which is why the country has had a history of “aggravating” other nations, said former congressman Ron Paul.
Paul said that this is the incorrect approach to foreign policy and that the U.S. should be focused on more free trade instead.
“China is more or less a scapegoat, which is very unpopular to say, that’s unpatriotic to say that we have some responsibility for ourselves. We need to stop the interference in trade. I think free trade will neutralize the disagreements that we have, but we always seem to have to have an enemy,” Paul told Kitco News.
Cyni, the Founders set up the Constitution specifically to provide for import taxes on products since those countries wanted access to our markets.
Free trade has resulted in a discrepancy where those countries now have the advantage over goods produced here. And if you have been in any Wong Mart lately you can see for yourself what I mean. ;)
