Of course all those free trade agreements that allowed employers to move outside the USA and import their products into the country without tariffs had nothing to do with Detroit’s problems. Nor is it germane to point out that Detroit had high taxes and liberal government when it was prosperous or that 50 yards across the Detroit River Windsor, Ontario Canada prospers with all the things that supposedly caused Detroit to fail due to NAFTA jobs that were once held by Americans.
Or could it be that these things were left out because of a bias towards free trade and blindness to any problems caused by free trade.
