JACK KEMP, HISTORIAN—NOT!

In the April 14 issue of The Washington Times, former Congressman and cabinet member Jack Kemp wrote an op-ed against imposing tariffs on Chinese imports. Towards the end of that column, he made the wild claim that, “There is no demonstrable instances in economic history where nations were made worse off by free and open trade.” In reality, the examples are legion, and include even the most powerful countries being laid low by rivals in “open trade.”

4. Trade with China

Is a slap in the face to all the Americans who died fighting communism. Why is communism in Cuba bad, but communism in China good?

6. Because the Bush family is heavily invested in China

Actually, by definition, can we still call China communist? They seem to be morphing into pirate capitalist.
