Well, the voters never seem to get a choice that isn't for "free trade".

Nobody in America is forced to buy any imported products. Everybody is free to choose what to buy. Perhaps just as importantly, one of the few things almost every school of economic thought agrees upon is the notion that free trade is far preferable to protectionism.

The best and most remarkable part of the Romney plan is the proposal for establishment of a free trade zone. Led by America and known as the "Reagan Economic Zone," it could potentially replace the WTO if implemented correctly with the right leadership (i.e., nobody is going to sign-up if Perry becomes POTUS and therefore makes America the laughingstock of the world again, just like Perry's predecessor Dubya).

Bush couldn't get free trade deals?

There is a difference between making free trade agreements, and the type of proposal Romney is putting out there. And, no, there is no way Bush would have been able to accomplish this sort of thing.

Apparently that is what Perry is calling his own proposal? A very confusing guy that Perry...

I wish Romney had called it the Al Gore Economic Zone.

Suddenly I am hearing the sound of Ross Perot's voice saying something about a giant sucking sound.

Right, because the economy went into a nosedive in the mid and late 1990s after NAFTA was implemented...just like Perot predicted *rolls eyes*
