 We are having to provide welfare to our farmers, total volume of trade is stagnant, manufacturing is in contraction, etc.   
  
 I definitely think China should have been taken to task about their trade and market practices.  We helped give them a boost via the WTO but they got the better of the West for a while.  Trump took a damn sledge hammer to a surgery, though.
