Free trade makes sense
Congress must resist raising taxes, limiting freedom
By US Rep. Ron Paul

Once again the contentious debate over trade with China is before the
Congress, but this time with the added twist of allegations of spying.

And, once again, those opposed to free trade will join forces with those favoring taxpayer subsidization of foreign countries to mangle the English language and thoroughly confuse the issue.

In the parlance of Washington bureaucrats and politicians, as well as most special interest groups, words used in debate take on a quality similar to Orwellian double-speak. As in his classic "1984," the "Ministry of Love" was actually the department of war, today's debates use words and phrases in ways diametrically opposed to reality.

For instance, if someone says they are for "free trade," one must look
carefully what they really mean, for the classic (and common sense)
definition does not apply.
