Since I used to deal with Levi Strauss on a frontline basis for several commercial enterprises, I think I would be much more capable of commenting on their situation than you would. The situation in Mexico is far worse than you'll ever know. But I'm sure since you are a man of the world and go down there every 30-45 days like I used to and keep abrest of all the developments down there you know far more about the trade situation than I do. When you go down to the industrial parks surrounding Mexico City and see what is and has happened, get back to us with a report. So far NAFTA has not lived up to the promises except to allow our industry to relocate to Mexico for lower labor costs. In return we have lost the electronics industry, we are in the process of losing the textile industry and now we are locked in a life and death struggle to maintain American agriculture. But you can live in your little fantasy world as long as you'd like. I'm sure the guys at the country club and other RINO's will look out for your well being.

Since I have been a professional financial analyst and international trader, particularly with China, I would beg to differ with your limited assesment.
