John McCain: Free Trade Poster Boy in the White House?
Alan Tonelson
Friday, September 12, 2008
Even in current era of the blogosphere, punditry thats actually useful as opposed to simple ranting is nuanced.It at least acknowledges that reality is rarely black and white.It admits that there are usually two sides to every story.It recognizes that policymaking often requires balancing competing legitimate goals.(Thats why its hard.)
Unfortunately, nuance simply isnt part of the record of Republican presidential nominee John McCain on economic globalization.Throughout his Congressional career and his presidential candidacy, his words and deeds on trade, manufacturing, investment, and related issues have been so unrelievedly dreadful across the board that they could easily be mistaken for propaganda by his opponents.
Worse, these problems go way beyond McCains proud support for every single outsourcing-focused trade deal served up since the North American Free Trade Agreement.They also go way beyond his habit of mistaking free-market platitudes for sensible approaches to (a) overcoming specific, concrete challenges faced by American producers in often hostile global marketplaces, and (b) fixing the dangerous weaknesses pervading the world economy thanks largely to the toxic mix of U.S. trade policy negligence and foreign mercantilism.
When the picture of McCains globalization policies is rounded out by his enthusiasm for globalizing (read outsourcing) American defense procurement and undermining domestic defense producers, a genuinely appalling conclusion emerges: McCains dominant impulses in this sphere add up to nothing less than blanket opposition to realistic strategies for promoting the U.S. economys productive sectors along with an equally powerful determination to ignore or actually coddle foreign predation.
In other words, the Arizona Senators bottom line on globalizations challenges too often has not been blindly defending laissez-faire.Its been hanging his own countrys producers out to dry
