YOU SAID..."I realize what is happening isn't the uptopia that I may seem like I was describing, but at least its a step in that direction."

When you give the government control over the free market...which includes the free labor market, for a philosophically desirable purpose...you are getting in bed with a whore and hoping you will find true love...and not get a disease along the way.

Think about the unintended consequences of these agreements....because of the fact that the government already has a massive social welfare and entitlement system IN PLACE NOW.

Everything you hate will come about...on a bigger scale...including unions and welfare programs.

It is a paradox I admit...but its reality Im afraid.

ok. well, I see what you're saying and it is an intelligent objection.

What do you propose we do then?

IMHO, It's like government saying if you import any sugar we'll throw you in jail, to them saying, well you can import a little under all of these bloated and wasteful agencies, with all of this regulation and yadda yadda yadda...

seems to me we might as well take it.

I mean, it already gives itself the power to block it, so its not like you're giving it power over an area it didn't previously have.
