Next week, the U.S. will

Next week, the U.S. will call for eliminating tariffs on all industrial goods by 2015. After a year of going backward on the free trade front, this is a good sign. One thing I noticed is the plan will be announced by Robert Zoellick, the US Trade Representative, and Donald Evans, the commerce secretary. No where to be seen is Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill. As a face for the administration's economic policy, O'Neill's been invisible. Does the administration have so little faith in him as a salesman? If so, then they need to find a replacement, someone who's bold and a loud defender for free market policies. Calling Larry Kudlow!
