Finally, a sensical trade proposal
Finally, a sensical trade proposal
The Bush Administration today propoased eliminating all tariffs worldwide on industrial and consumer goods by 2015.
It’s about time. Tariffs, subsidies and other trade barriers cause price increases for consumers and distort capital flows from where they should go. The US

God and China In an
God and China
In an OpEd piece in this morning’s New York Times, Nicholas Kristoff describes how in many parts of China Christians are still tortured and murdered.
