Please bring up a related inference, it will make the debate more lively...

The idea being that when industries are no longer effective in the U.S., invariably some folks want government to step in instead of advising those effected by the change to do something to help themselves.

Dick Gephard, John Kerry, Dennis Kucinich, Al Sharpton and John Edwards want to errect trade barriers around the United States. What makes you think that they are correct?

Industies ARE effective in this country, it is the fact that HUMAN GREED made the company CEO's move to a slave labor run country that makes American Companies no longer able to compete, and you call it rain on my back??

That is why Tarriffs were created centuries ago, to protect your own countrymen. It is free trtade, without boundries, where goods made at wages we cannot compete against that are going to kill us, and you call it morning dew!

You must have never worked at any manufacturing job, because if you did, you would see your cost of living rise, while your wages plummet to the floor in the last 10 years, and with all the offshoring, you calling it rain on my back, that makes me think you are an idiot.
