Boudreaux on Maximizing Trade Agreements

Maximize Trade Agreements; Hayek Cafe

Another of Professor Don Boudreaux's educational letters...here's a small snippet:

Each of us is capable of negotiating our own personal trade agreements – we do so successfully every day – and are harmfully obstructed in our negotiations by Uncle Sam’s tariffs and other trade barriers,




Comment: That is the basis for all of our problems today within the United States; government creating barriers to our own personnel negotiations.

Prior to 1913, it was the Senate's place and role to ensure special interest groups and the Federal and National Government's involvement was minimized in our lives. Yet today the Senate and House build walls all around us through maddening legislation that is funneled into the Capital by special interest preventing us from real growth, transactions and success.

The time is now folks to repeal the 17th Amendment and restore federalism and bicameralism within the federal structure.
