Protectionism vs. Pragmatism

I think we have tried the " Free Trade" route and have run up a great deficit.
There can be imports and exports but they must be on a level playing field. US business cannot compete with someone overseas paying $2 a day wages and no import duties to even it up. We also cannot reward our business community for taking their jobs overseas. I do believe that this is why we do not make much anymore and our manufacturing base has gone away. What does everyone think-thumb me up or down.
