Bad or good?

If NAFTA has disproportionately favored Mexico over the United States, renegotiating NAFTA would be good, right? No, according to several plastics organizations.¹

Let’s try again. To rebuild manufacturing in the USA, we should impose tariffs on incoming goods, right? No, according to the stock market.²

One more time. Making more resin than we consume, so we can sell some overseas, is a good thing, right? No, according to economist Alan Tonelson.³
