I think the free market, not a bunch of government employees (and elected officals in Washinton DC) are the best judge of whether a business can compete.

I'll bet that we can recruit many Indians or Chinese to become Americans to replace ClintonBeGone and others like him, at a much cheaper price. What an idea - !!!
