Have free traders jumped the shark yet?
If so, when can we make policy that reflects that they are sooo over as an ecoomic experiment?

1. I'd say when either of the major parties come to that conclusion as well
But right now, both parties are FULL SPEED ahead w/r/t "free" trade.

3. Why would they "jump the shark"? They're fabulously rich and can buy any politician they want...
...Shit, if anything they're planning on expanding their influence to outsource Police, Fire and EMS services in the U.S. into the Janjaweed 911 Emergency Response services.
