[history]
For several years I have been tracking U.S. job losses and seeking to understand the causes. I have written enough columns about this subject to have caused angst among some inside-the-Beltway think-tankers.
Two critics, Bruce Bartlett and Daniel T. Griswold, have yet to comprehend the argument they dispute. This is puzzling. Whereas international trade theory is very complex, my statement of the job loss problem, or more accurately, my posing of the question is very simple.

It is irresponsible to assume the U.S. will not be affected by these new developments or to assume without careful thought that the impact on the U.S. will be beneficial.

For all the union thugs, and their usefull idiots. You don't have to be in a union to know that free trade as it's currently being practiced isn't working out for American workers.
It's basically corporate welfare in that it allows companies to move to cheap labor countries, then turn around and dump those products back on us for the same price than when they were made here. Well I got news for the greedy CEOs, when there's no middle class left in the US, few will be able to buy their shoddy products.

You posted this and immediately eliminated any intelligent discussion by name-calling. Any future threads posted by you should be ignored.

Yeah, I like it better when Willie posts.
Snide name calling never seems to win people
over to your side. MonroeDNA is
a classic case for this.
To: MonroeDNA
For all the union thugs, and their usefull idiots. You avoided those questions I posed for you last week. Too busy with the name-calling, I presume?
