CORRECTION: Dick Durbin, (D, IL) not (D PA). Correct at the original article. How'd that slip in there?

Durbin (as well as the Rock Island arsenal) is from IL, not PA. I'm all for free trade now because with the globalization the last few years, these jobs are gone and there's NOTHING anyone can do about it without devestating the whole economy. With today's tech, as long as there are people in China who will work for 5 cents an hour, American steel and manufacturing is GONE. So support free trade now because protectionism can only make it worse by isolating us and making other countries angry and hostile towards us. Perhaps the steel workers unions that are left should stop asking for more money and thank God they still exist.
