[Some workers will be displaced during this process, but the marketplace is the place where buyer and seller come together at some agreed price.]

'Some' workers are displaced by the chinese, 'some' by the indonesians, 'some' by the Mexicans, 'some' by the Sri Lankans (sp), 'some' by the Brazilians, 'some' by the - well just read the labels on your products. By the time we have split the 'some' among all the countries of the world, there aren't many 'somes' left with jobs.

Now if there are no jobs, and you have no money, it doesn't matter how cheap the product is.

This is to say nothing of the absolute absurdity of a country having no manufacturing. I do not think we could even manufacture the uniforms if we had a large scale war to say nothing of the hardware needed. This is suicide.

If the marketplace is not allowed to determine the cost of the product and also what each individual can sell his or her labor for, that tells me some individual, group, or government will have to make that decision. This would appear to me to be the most unfair method of determining each.

Look what happened to the Soviet Union when its government controlled the means of production. Everyone wants to earn more per hour, month, or whatever; but if everyone was paid more, each item we purchase would cost more.

The key has been to open more markets which helps more people of every country. As markets are restricted more workers worldwide are hurt.
