Ithink that pretty much sums it up. I wouldn't be surprised if they passed tried to pass trade protectionism. And Obama will still probably say "well think how much worse it would have been if we had allowed free trade or if we hadn't intervened with all this stimulus,"

Do you think that anyone knows what this is?

Unless they listen to Rush, most people have no clue and will have no clue until they are in the bread line.

I’ll be honest with you, when Rush brought it up, I had to look it up. We are doomed. Start stocking up.

Exactly and I posted the exact same thing on another thread. This would kill what is left of economic activity. Willfully repeating history...

If I had a dime every time some free trader squawks “Smoot Hawley Smoot Hawley” every time someone wants to protect the American worker and his job, I could retire!
