Yes. I want the government of this country to protect its citizens in every way. I would even go one step further. Were I the government I would be aggressively promote, in any way I could, the demise of foreign companies so that we could remaing the economic leader of the world. What would be so wrong if everyone had to come to the U.S. for their needs? A little bit of economic imperialism wouldn't hurt at all. Wow, I kept waiting for the sarcasm tag. An economy grows by being innovative and thus creating new markets and new businesses, and thus, new jobs. There's no need to kill foreign competion if the government steps out of the way and allows those things to happen. Had GWB been more like Reagan, rather than Hoover and LBJ on economic issues, jobs wouldn't even be an issue.

(My 1.4 cents - It used to be 2 cents, but after taxes - you get the idea.)
