See, there's the difference. Don't need central heat in Mexico. They can produce these products more efficiently. Just like the coal miners in England under Thatcher who wanted their jobs protected, even though there was no more coal in the mine. You do not have a RIGHT to keep the same job your whole life. We would never have moved to cars from horse and carriage if you protectionist types had your way. Protect every industry and you have economic and innovative stagnation. There's no incentive to build a better product without competition.
If you folks insist on the government spending money on something, better to spend it on re-training for workers rather than protectionism. Give a man a fish, or teach him how---the latter is far preferable.
