No economist makes the argument that free trade is better for all americans. Thats simply not what economic theory says.

Economist have studid the problem for a long time and the wastly overwhelming majority still support it. They have actually fought about the problem quite a bit.

You would do well to actually understand the argument instead of mischaracterising it.

While agree with you - it was always noted in the fine print that there would be losers in the globalization game - it just wasn't stated that 95% of us would lose, while .1% would win bigly.
