There is no such thing as a free market. It is a myth. The US, like other countries, has protectionist policies in place to curtail competitive imports. The Us bolsters its own economy by, amongst other tactics, ensuring that aid is spent on US products. The enormous aid to Israel for example has a large part tagged to be reinvested into arms from the US and a large portion of the rest for products from the US, the list is endless. I suggest you check some facts. Many third world countries would love the US to apply free market measures to itself. Julian
