I would never disagree with the great Walter Williams.  He is truly one of the greatest conservative economists ever.  However, his column does not discuss trade practices.


We have lost a large number of jobs in the manufacturing sector.  As his column indicates, we have lost 40% since 1979.  And no doubt much of this drop is due to increases in productivity, but no way is all of it.  Where are these Americans going to find good paying jobs? Many have no skills and no more than a high school education.  These people are being left behind and our unfair trade policies have resulted in fewer opportunities for many Americans to reach and maintain a middle class life style.
