I never mentioned NAFTA or TPP in my post. It is dishonest of you to attempt to attribute a position to me that I have not taken. The rules do not require me to address every tangent that you spin off to in your long, rambling posts, and my preference is to minimize the time I waste responding to them. High tariffs have never made a nation prosperous and nothing could be further from free trade.

And here we go asliding off in yet another direction. Tariffs are tools of the trade. Nothing has been taken off of the negotiator's table except chinless liberalism.
