Now-President Donald Trump ran for the gig – promising to clean up DC’s titanically stupid fake “free trade” status quo. And as is the case with very much of that on which he ran – Trump is now practicing what he preached. Far too many people in DC have been in full-on freakout mode – […]
We’ve oft written about the abject phoniness that poses as “free trade” in Washington, D.C. Where our trading partners impose all sorts of taxes and import limits on our stuff.

I am a retired musician. I play three instruments and sing. And most important from a prospective remuneration perspective – I wrote the stuff we sang and played.
