"I was speaking out in Minnesota — my hometown, in fact — and a guy stood up in the audience, said, 'Mr. Friedman, is there any free trade agreement you’d oppose?' I said, 'No, absolutely not.' I said, 'You know what, sir? I wrote a column supporting the CAFTA, the Caribbean Free Trade initiative. I didn’t even know what was in it. I just knew two words: free trade.'"
...... I just knew two words: free trade.
I once heard one of our local politicians proclaim "all he needed to know about economics was two words...Tom Friedman".
Yes, we are in trouble.
