Pat Buchanan is not an economist and spins his diatribes to fit his jingoistic views. FDRs Folly by Jim Powell clearly states that the FED in 1929 tightened the money supply when the economy was already contracting and the Smoot Hawley tariffs pushed us into depression. Do not call me a liar and read more than one persons 'history' before you rant. Ravi Batra and Buchanan are hardly prophetic and read Milton Friedman on a free trade perspective that doesn't have a political bent.

How to stop exporting jobs

"It's really quite simple. To stop the outflow of American jobs, all that is required is to: repeal the minimum wage law, outlaw labor unions, repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act, dismantle OSHA, abolish the EPA, repeal the Endangered Species Act, abandon the Ecosystem Management Policy, repeal all articles of the Clean Water Act that affect non-navigable waters and, in general, return America to the social status of India, China and the other nations to which American jobs are flowing...There is another alternative: force India, China and the other nations to adopt the same environmental and social standards America has adopted, thus imposing the same production costs on foreign producers that American producers must pay."
