As far as protectionists growing in congress, I think you are dreaming if you think the country will return to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Virgil Goode just sponsored a bill in Congress to repeal NAFTA. I don't expect it to go anywhere this year, it's going to take a few years yet when millions more have lost their jobs to outsourcing and unfair competition from third world countries. Americans have traditionally voted their pocketbooks and the future will be no different.

Good, Nafta is an abomination. As are all government control managed trade agreements between governements. You, BTW, actually love these agreements in theory, you just hate the current terms. If they did what you wanted you would fess up to loving them. They are corporate welfare.

The agreement is essentially one of countries taxing each other. They should agree on one rate of plunder and leave people otherwise alone.

If Americans fall for this nonsense as you predict they deserve the chains they allow thugs to put on them.
