Trump & Sanders On Why the Markets Crashed: Too Much Freedom [PODCAST]

by Austin Petersen

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders took to the airwaves and social media slums today to diagnose why the stock market crashed today. Sanders tweeted that “unfettered free trade has been a disaster,” while Trump went off on China, which has had enormous financial difficulties as of late.

Sanders and Trump both believe that free trade policies with countries overseas hurts the American economy. Trump has been on the record stating that China steals American jobs, while neglecting to mention that he sells goods and services from China like many other businesspersons. Too much freedom for consumers to buy and sell goods internationally hurts us all. But do politicians have any idea what the hell they’re talking about?

Of course not.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew demonstrated his economic ignorance recently by claiming that China’s market isn’t integrated enough with the global economy to have much of an impact on the rest of the world. Where does Obama get these guys?

So what are the real problems with the American economy? Is China going to sink us all? And why does the authoritarian right and the authoritarian left have so much in common?

All that and more on today’s episode of the Freedom Report podcast!
