Congress Approves Protectionist Measure That Could Spark Trade War
Major partners, including the European Union and Canada, say the legislation favoring U.S. steel, iron and manufactured goods for government projects could undermine pledges by the leaders of major economies not to resort to protectionism during the world economic downturn.
"In several television interviews last week, he [Obama] said the stimulus package should not include protectionist language that could trigger a trade war. But now that it does, he is likely to sign it anyway. The measures appear, however, to give the administration discretion about how to implement spending decisions, given the requirement of meeting trade obligations."

Hi bxlefty23,
I believe this is absolutely the case. The depression makes it easier to steal because they have a cover. They are not trying to help us.
