No, it's the same as asking should we have protected the jobs of horse and buggy drivers or milkmen when their jobs no longer became efficient.

You keep quoting this econ101 stuff but you have not yet address others' point that the econ101 stuff only works within a given economic parameters. Throw in a peasant who only needs $25 dollars a week and your little rose colored contruct goes right in the crapper.

I'm tired of economic pie in the sky theory who's practical result is a slowly declining std of living for AMericans, while everybody else sees improvement.

I'm tired of economic pie in the sky theory who's practical result is a slowly declining standard of living for Americans, while everybody else sees improvement.

And that's what all this crap is about.

Forcing Americans to compete with Communist Chinese peasants and 3rd world countries like Mexico where their elite live like kings while their people live in squaller.

We're suppose to compete with all this? Our truckers now have to be more efficient?

What a load of BS.

The fat cat elites won't be happy until everyone will work for $6.00 per hour, so we can *compete*.

Profits for the fat cats regardless of consequences.

We are surrounded by freaking traitors.
