It should have. But "economic pains" can lead to some of the most irrational behavior, not the least of which is deliberately overlooking the obvious. It seems that some FR conservatives want a limited government but they don't like the impersonal nature of a labor market or markets in general. This makes it okay to request that the "limited government" ensures a market outcome that exclusively favors Americans only.
It is a good post and for that reason will not get touched like it should.
Yes, its the same mentality that we want cheap gas, electricity and clean air, so don't build any new power plants or refineries.
We want limited government, except for draconian fiscal, monetary and isolationist trade policies, oversight of greedy corporations, and government guarantees for jobs, a high minimum wage and unlimited benefits, even for those flipping burgers in an entry level job.
