Free trade If Libertarians and conservatives love Constitution...
Then why do they ignore the part of the Constitution which mandates Congress to regulate commerce with foreign nations? The purpose of trade is to benefit the nation not just for companies to make a profit.

We should be regulating trade on a nation by nation status and not by just eliminating tariffs across the board. Yeah I'm a hypocrite on this because I've probably purchased cheap goods brought here in crappy trade deals.

That's why we need tariffs to restore real price on goods and not these masked cheap prices. I think this can be done in a way to protect consumers from obscene price increases.
