This is my third cartoon posted on "Kos." I'm planning to post about a cartoon a week -- although "the best laid plans of mice and cartoonists" being what they are, we'll see how it goes.
Part of my problem with "free trade" is that the fact that there is a legitimate other side to the issue -- and that other side is not "just protectionism" -- tends to get ignored by "serious" policy wonks in the USA. As a result, we tend to view resistance to free trade as purely irrational, especially in how the mainstream media frames the issue.
