Uhh.. what about electronics, autos, computers ... ad nauseum. What's your real name, Rip Van Winkle?

His warning was that we'd lose our productive edge in such fields because of free trade. Are you asserting that our union workers are more productive than the japs in those fields? If not, can you blame free trade? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

When did we ever have free trade with the Japs (or anyone else for that matter)? Globalism is not free trade.
