Yes, our country has been on the losing side of trade deals for too long

While market fundamentalists may acknowledge issues with trade deals, their solution would not involve increasing tariffs as a corrective measure. They believe that the free market, rather than government intervention, should correct such imbalances. The ideology suggests that any perceived losses from trade deals can be better addressed through negotiations and reforms that further liberalize trade, rather than through protectionist measures.
