Subject: RE: BS: Paul Ryan speech on CNN
Look, there has never BEEN a "Free Market." There has been "free trade" and "open markets" but there has never been and never will be a "free market."

How could there be? Economically "free market" is an oxymoron.

If you want free trade and open markets then you'll have to drop ALL protection for the goods and service produced in your country AND have the same in the countries to which you sell -- no import duties, no tariffs, no "protection" of any kind. Do you really want that? -- remember, it also works in reverse.
