Fifty Years of the Phyllis Schlafly Report: Communists Still Use the “Trick Called Trade”

All conservatives agree that we need to “drain the swamp,” but it is much harder to agree on how to do that. Ultimately, draining the swamp means removing the corrupt influence of Washington bureaucrats from an otherwise superior system of constitutionally limited government based on personal rights and free enterprise. To most, trade policy might seem irrelevant to this goal. However, Phyllis Schlafly understood that politicians use trade policy as a way to broker their power and pick winners and losers in a blatantly uncapitalistic fashion. She saw the importance of the trade issue when she wrote her August 1972 Phyllis Schlafly Report entitled “Subsidizing the Soviets with a Trick Called Trade.”  In order to truly drain the swamp, we must seize this unconstitutional power wielded by Washington bureaucrats who offer financial and commercial aid to those acting in aggression to American interests.

TRUMP ENDS FEDERAL AID TO ABORTION, WITHDRAWS FROM TPP

  

St. Louis, MO:  This morning, President Donald Trump signed three executive actions that take steps toward fulfilling many of his campaign promises and policies.  Trump's actions included: withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, placing a hiring freeze on non-military federal workers, and cutting off federal funding for foreign organizations that provide abortions.  These are some of the issues that Phyllis Schlafly regarded as most important in our 2016 election.
