It is going to be a higher price if we don't pay it now. Besides, the scenario you envision is way off the mark. It would not be one tenth of that

This problem is not new.
We've been dealing with it for a long time.
Others have had to face it for at least several thousand years.

Bush is not an idiot nor is he willing to sell out his country for a few shekels and a bit of power. So why is he doing this?

My guess is he's gambling that the benefits outweigh the negatives...and that we'll be able to integrate the entire North American economy, or even form one big country, before anything blows.

Then the race to the bottom would be complete.
And we would be finished.
