Recently elected Democrat US Sen. Bob Casey Jr. has already caused the loss of 1500 quality high-paying jobs at chocolate giant Hershey Co., analysts confirmed today.

How so? Read this in the WSJ this AM ... no mention of job loss attributed to Se. Bob Casey. Ross Perot use to speak about the giant sucking sound as jobs were lost to Mexico as a result of NA free trade agreement ... now you're beginning to see evidence.

This has zero to do with NAFTA.

Hershey wanted to keep everything in PA by raising new investment capital via a partnership with Nestle, but the state government forbid them to do so.

Actually, it's just the opposite. It is US restrictions on the import of sugar that has been driving American candy makers to both Canada and Mexico. Those import restrictions are designed to protect a mere handful of very wealth sugar cane farmers in Florida and Louisiana while killing many thousands of jobs in other states. But it's a very powerful lobby that has made American candy makers uncompetitive on the world market.

Didn't you notice the cynical tone to this 'self written' lead sentence.

I was simply pointing out the hypocracy of the media and the Democrats (same thing really) who during the '06 campaign blamed Sen. Santorum for every job loss in Pennsylvania the past 12 years..... when in fact Santorum had nothing whatsoever do to with such events.

Further, my statements made no mention whatsoever of the rightness or wrongness of the NA free trade agreement, only the rank hypocracy from news reporters everywhere.
