PERHAPS THE WORST NEWS OF THE WEEK MONTH YEAR: “By a nearly two-to-one margin, Republican voters believe free trade is bad for the U.S. economy, a shift in opinion that mirrors Democratic views and suggests trade deals could face high hurdles under a new president.” A general opposition to free trade will be terrible for the U.S. — and the global — economy. I hope that this anti-free-trade sentiment is aimed only at new agreements, and doesn’t extend to a rollback of existing free trade, but I’m not that optimistic.
