Don’t Keep on Truckin’("Conservative" National Review Favors Dangerous Mexican Trucks)

The government has a announced the shut down of a factory in Alabama because the government has decided to buy condoms from China, instead of US. I guess the workers in the Alabama factory rejected the AFL-CIO.

Of course, I meant, as a matter of negotiation.

Therefore, I see no need to manufacture anything here in the states.

Is that why we still manufacture more than any other nation?

Sounds like you've got some outsourcing to do. Take a break from shilling for bailouts and get to work on that! I'm not going to pay a nickel more for my lettuce.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Sounds like you've got some outsourcing to do.

According to you, we already outsourced everything.

[mysterio]

If that were the case, I wouldn’t have had to participate in this thread at all. Remember, this thread is about bringing third world trucks onto our roads so that we can outsource those jobs.

[Toddsterpatriot]

But foreign manufacturing employees are all cheaper than Americans. And you said you can pollute all you want. It doesn't make sense that we have any American manufacturing left.

Unless you left something out?

Mexicans different.
Different bad.
Mexicans bad.

BS. It's what you are arguing on this thread.

Lol, no one embraces government like you and all those supporting these so-called free trade agreements. Government is used to gain some advantage for specific industries, through heavy lobbying and campaign contributions, and participation in writing the agreements. You're just like a major union, trying to use government to achieve your specific goals, no matter the impact on the nation as a whole.

And you still are the master of the inane one-liner, blowing smoke and saying nothing, addressing no specific comment and showing no link between your inane comments and the post you attached them to.

[1rudeboy]

Few things are more amusing than watching someone claim they are in favor of less government, while simultaneously arguing that the government protect their "chosen" industries.

Then (it's a form of projection), they blame the people arguing for less government for their own hypocrisy.

You realize that specific industries, through heavy lobbying and campaign contributions, have influenced the government even in the absence of trade agreements?

Probably not.
