We have not had free market rule, we have had demigogin politicing and corruption on levels never seen before by the above the law and out of control elitists on both sides of the political spectrum. Nafta, Afta, Solyndra +9 all these free trade agreements have done is ship jobs overseas. All of the stupid regulations have scared the wealthy business owners into the hands of our foreign competiters. I personally feel that if the nation can make it past the next 15 yrs we will have massive growth. The last 8yrs of political circus is not amusing at all. Boy we are getting to see how the hotdog was made and it isn,t pretty at all. Morons I tell yah! morons. 
You wanna know what is SAD? When people feed their dogs food, that is AMERICAN branded, but made in China or Japan, and it kills their dogs, even when they pay the "priemium" for dog food like IAMS. It's all packaged in China or Japan. IAMS was the dog food that had rat poison in it a few years back. I remember clearly, because my mom was gloating about the high dollar stuff she fed her dogs, compared to the Purina that I fed my dogs. If it's that cheap to package something as simple as DOG FOOD in China and ship it over, how much junk do you think is PEOPLE food shipped over? At some point, you would think people would start to be outraged. Hasn't happened yet.
