I appreciate the concerns many have with jobs being outsourced and all, but this is nothing more than capitulation to the unions, and sets a dangerous precedent. We’ve got to be competitive in a global economy, and protectionism isn’t going to work in the long run.

I couldn’t agree more, protectionism is a bad path to take.

Protectionism was also tried before the last great depression - with what will be equally bad results. I suspect China will not take this causally - and we have a lot more to lose than they do... and lose we will...
