Even the Mexicans are bitching about NAFTA, they realize it was a big failure.

Only a protectionist could think trade was a lose-lose proposition.

Speaking of trade, I went shopping for a bbq grill for my dad today. Being retired, he's all about price . . . so I was expecting to have to come up with some sort of an excuse not to buy Chinese or Mexican. Lo and behold, at Home Depot, cheapest at $40--Made in China, next cheapest at $46--Made in USA, next cheapest at $50--Made in USA.

The $46 one (Meco) was so clearly superior to both of the others (Weber, and Hammer & Sickle), that I didn't have to even sell him on it . . . what the heck has come to this country when we can't even offshore our grill production?
