Perhaps the biggest problem with Buchanan's trade platform is the premise that trade is a big part of the problem. Most economists concur that trade with low-wage nations depresses low-skill American wages, but most don't think the effect is very large. Stanford economist Paul Krugman points out that in 1990 nonoil imports from low-wage nations amounted to 2.8% of America's GDP--a low number and, more to the point, barely higher than the 2.2% figure for 1960, back before low-skill American wages started dropping...

And this is to say nothing of the secession requirements in international law that a minority be persecuted, that the parent country concur and that the secession receive broad international recognition...

Then they administered leptin. The mice responded by cutting their food intake and shedding the extra ounces, suggesting leptin may have value in reversing more typical cases of weight gain...
