THE OLD, TIRED IDEA that America has only a finite number of jobs -- and that we must guard them zealously against raids from cheap foreign labor -- has been making a remarkable comeback.

The reason for this is that free-marketeer economists forget that there's a short run to survive, in which China does all the manufacturing overseas and illegals do all the service jobs domestically, and it takes a while for the economy to generate high-paying new jobs to take their place.

And so millions live a step or two ahead of homelessness, thanks to bureaucratic regulations that stagnate the economy from adjusting rapidly enough.

Or thanks to their incompetence and the fact that they do a job so easy that billions of people around the world can do it for much cheaper. Good riddance. Life is tough. Grow up, walk it off, and quit whining. That's what the overwhelming majority of Americans, who aren't socialists, are doing. The US rules.

They also forget that we had protective tarrifs in place for a long time that allowed us to build up our industries in the first place.

Ah yes, Texas-Dawg spewing his/her venom every time this topic comes up. There must be a ve$ted interest in this for Dawg. What Dawg lacks in logic, he/she makes up for in insults.
