I live in a manufacturing area, and countless jobs have gone to Mexico since the NAFTA abomination. But it sure is neat that there's more cheap crap to buy at Walmart. We should definitely erase our borders so that a head of lettuce costs 15 cents instead of 25. Sure.

Yeah, I guess the unions had absolutely nothing to do with driving wage costs so high that manufacturers look around for a guy who can turn a screw for less.

And the cheap goods at Wal-Mart benefit everybody, including American workers.

Your final sentence is so silly as to not even deserve a reply.

Actually, you could probably say that those U.S. jobs went to Mexico, from Mexico to China, and from China to Viet Nam. The problem is that China has lost as much as eight times as many manufacturing jobs as the U.S. and Viet Nam only picked-up a few, so it appears as though they are being vented into the atmosphere.

Backing off of our racism accusation, I see. Good for you.

The stock anti-union tirade. But I bet you like weekends and the fact that 6 year olds don't work 40 hour weeks so dad can pay interest to the company store. But that's a whole seperate argument for you to lose.

You are arguing that since companies made agreements to unions and you personally think those agreements are unfair, they should be able to pay slave wages to third world workers? That's a bit of a stretch even for the logically challenged.

That's good news, because that's only store a lot of us are going to be able to afford to buy things at. You ivory tower globalists keep forgetting that you need a population that can actually afford to buy the junk that you move to Mexico to make. And once our credit cards are maxed, you're going to see things slowing down a tad.

My goodness, after a biting rebuke like that, I don't know how I'll ever be able to look at myself in the mirror again.
