Once again, Tom Purcell proves himself to be a "useful idiot".

Once again Willie Green proves himself to be a one hit wonder. An Economic Isolationist, Green would shackle the A American Consumer to over priced, shoddy goods in order to feed his paranoid delusions about Foreigners making stuff. Green, who apparently never attended a single econ class, seems to have embraced the 17th Century ideals or mechantilism. A failed economic model that defined Economic Strength in terms of self sufficiency. Green, who failure to comprehend even the most basic of economic facts about trade can be counted on to post dozens of hysterical uninformed posts on Free Republic weekly exposing his views that Americans should be forced by Dictatorial Government action to become the Economic Slaves of inefficient American companies making shoddy goods JUST because they claim to "be American." The fact that this would bankrupt American society by eliminating our BEST performing company's from being able to compete on the global market AND eliminate any competition for failing American Businesses to evolve or DIE troubles Mr Green's emotionally hysteric intellect not at all.

You're wrong about willie!

He's not just against free trade, he's for mass transit! Those are the two cornerstones of the willie green posting philosphy. Here's the short course:

1. Post economic news only if it's bad. For instance, a plant closing where 500 people lost their jobs is a good post. A new factory opening with 700 jobs isn't noteworthy. 200 Jobs going overseas is news. 1,000 jobs being added in the US by a european / asian manufacturer should just be ignored.

2. Post any study or article extolling the virtues of mass transit, especiall rail. Willie sure does love his trains. Post stories showing just how little it will cost and how many people will actually ride the thing.

Ignore any stories about the failures of mass transit. Any studies done comparing the actual costs and ridership of mass transit VS. the promised costs and promised ridership are bogus propaganda done by neocons who hate mass transit and have a conspiracy to keep it down.

Repeat steps one and two until the sheer brialliance of your positions are obvious to everyone.
