NO! No more of this free trade crap. It has to be EQUAL trade. No country should ever again be in debt to another country.

Um, ok. I just meant that no government would be setting quotas and levying tariffs to warp the free market. Free trade involves the elimination of special importation expenses paid to governments; it doesn't necessarily involve debt, as far as I know.
I didn't say "fair trade," because that has become code for socialist price-fixing to benefit unions.
What does "equal trade" mean? That neither party in a trade thinks he is making a profit? People don't trade at all unless they hope to make a profit.
