While on a bus tour this week across a midwest ravaged by deindustrialisation, President Barack Obama has ironically been touting job-killing free trade agreements.

Does free trade kill jobs? In the way it has been implemented, yes. But so does boneheaded management and boneheaded labor and especially boneheaded energy policy.

Mitt Romney deemed the road trip, which goes through an archipelago of shuttered factories and mills, as Obama's "Magical Misery Tour" (...)

Whomever wrote that line for Mittens earned their paycheck for the week.

Obama won Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois in 2008, but is set to lose them in 2012 if he remains on the free trade bandwagon.

Obama isn't going to lose IL.

(...) the US has seen a historic flow of Mexican immigrants across the border, driven by the closure of plants unable to compete with transnational companies, the elimination of peasant agriculture, and rising consumer prices have driven a historic flow of immigrants across the US border.

I suspect Mexico's problems are more due to corrupt narco-kleptocracy death cult currently in charge (both in the government and in the streets).
