You would be in favor of free trade. You would push for free trade proposals that would augment consumer choice and encourage spending because consumers would (rightfully) believe that their wants and desires for various goods are being catered to. You would encourage competition through free trade, competition that makes for better businesses, cheaper goods, happier consumers and a better quality of life in general. There may be no such thing as an economic policy silver bullet to improve the standard of living, but free trade is the closest thing to it.
Too bad that no one appears to have told Barack Obama about any of these facts.
