Yep our government represents foreign governments and not U.S. citizens.

This is why we are in such trouble.

You realize that a lot of the pressure in Washington to overturn the Jones Act (or at least some of its provisions) is coming from American shippers who employ American workers?

If I own a manufacturing facility along the Gulf Coast, the shipping costs for steel from China are lower than the shipping costs for steel from Pittsburgh. How does that benefit people working in the U.S. steel industry in Pennsylvania?
