I guess free trade is good, the politicians keep telling me so. However when we no longer make anything what will our people do for a decent living? The answer is we will be forced to accept much lower wages and there will be a quickly widening gap between those with money and those without. So after about half a century we will once again be a cheap labor market and able to rebuild what we already had in the way of industry. Sure seems there should be a way to stop the hemmoraging of industry and jobs from this country. I think we need to put the vast majority of politicians from both parties out of work and find those willing to work together for our betterment versus keeping a particular party in power. Start by finding ways to reward businesses that employ our people versus selling the cheapest goods. Right now the rewards are working against us.
