Senator Charles Schumer wrote recently in the New York Times that free trade had to be reconsidered It's funny. Free trade and outsourcing threads can go on for a couple hundred replies. It seems like the excerpt above should delineate the issue quite nicely.

""When American companies replace domestic employees with lower-cost foreign workers to sell more cheaply in home markets, it seems hard to argue this is the way free trade is supposed to work," Senator Schumer wrote."
Oh my God, I agree with the dirtball. That's not good. This means this issue is far more important than imagined.

...a majority of Americans endorsed free trade in principle, even if they believed it was being handled poorly by Washington. Um...I thought the whole point of "free trade" was to keep the government out of it. So, how can Washington be handling it poorly if it isn't supposed to be handling it at all?

The University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes found the percentage of those earning more than $US100,000 who actively supported free trade slid from 57 per cent in 1999 to 28 per cent in January 2004. Sure, well off Americans were all for destroying blue collar workers and their families so they could buy cheap communist slave labor products at the local Great Wall-Mart.
Now that their cushy jobs are being outsourced to India "free trade" is suddenly not such a good thing!
LOL!
How do you like it SUCKERS?!
You, your skills, your education, work record, experience, are all USELESS in the "free trade" paradise we now live survive in.
The ONLY criteria that matters now is, can you do the same work at a third of the wages or less??
The free traitors have not only destroyed over 2 million middle class American jobs, they may also destroy the Republican party along with them!

What this thread needs is some babytalk from Sowell so the freetrade hacks can feel good about putting this unpleasantness to bed without straining their brains.

The Free Traitors here seem to insist it's a DEMORAT issue. WRONG! It was Conservatives that first squawked and the Dems are smart enough to pick up on it and make it their own. This is a bipartisan issue. The only question is, how many votes Bush will lose to them because of his overwhelming concern for the "international economy." He's lost my vote because of it. He's lost alot of votes because of it. He's just one more corporate sellout unconcerned with his nation and the people in it. This ain't a boardroom, Jorge. And we're not buying your lame excuses. Think again. I'm voting Constitution Party.
