Bernie Sanders ' Bizarre Idea of Fair Trade . 
Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders , it is often noted , has never met a free trade deal that he liked . 
What I ca n't tell is whether Sanders simply does n't understand this , or does n't care . 
Sanders : Well , if he thinks they 're bad trade deals , I agree with him . 
With those last few words , Sanders has effectively written off trade with any country that is not already rich and prosperous -- which is simply inhumane . 
It is one thing to argue that we should not do business with nations that actively manage or manipulate their currencies , as Sanders sometimes does , since exchange rates are supposed to be the market 's main mechanism for balancing trade .
