How unfortunate and regrettable a situation the US and by extension many developed and developing nations have found themselves in regarding the current economic crisis. Perhaps the most distasteful taboo in this whole situation is the fact that the creators and most reputable supporters of free trade and business and trade liberalization has disregarded their own precedents by more than 700 Billion dollars. This creates a situation where the postman is too good to read his own mail, and perhaps a slug is too clean to touch his own slime. How can we as developing nations continue to support the egocentric ideals of a free trade agreement when clearly the USA has forthright neglected its own recommendations?
Some may say I sound harsh considering the realities of job losses, revenue constraints and such and I may comprehend with that analogy, but major job loss and revenue depletion is all a process in the overall life cycle of any free trade policy. The overwhelming concept behind the trade liberalization is that the markets replenish themselves almost naturally as a body does once a foreign threat is detected. The integration of the world economies via the ordeal or trade liberalization, unlike in the analogy of the human body, would imply that instead of depending on internal resistors to the threats, many flexible alternatives could be found.

However my opinion is that the USA has so much pride in itself that it could not dare allow any foreign company to take control of these inefficiently and carelessly run organization which they have apparently spoon-fed.

to add insult to the injury, the plans of trade liberalization and continual talks are still apparently smoothly on the agenda of many of these developed countries such as Britain, France, Germany and the beloved USA.

My point to summarize this blog is simple, "When you come to equity come with clean hands, and when u try to push trade liberalization and minimize government intervention and subsidization in the faces of the developing world reflect on what has taken place".
