You guys and gals have not seen anything yet. Look who these people he placed in important places, believe in. Mao, of China fame.

You people with ignorance of history, better wake the hell up!

This was always my worry with say NAFTA and GATT...

These things will force the working class of the U.S. to compete dollar for dollar with foreign labor. Which is fine, if the cost of all goods, including homes is going to come down to meet the lower wages. (Of course folks that had hoped to retire on the now defunct run up of home prices will scream at that statement.)

Bottom line is, if we want to be global, and have the quality if life we've enjoyed 'till now, the problem isn't how to drive U.S. wages down to 3rd world levels, but how to bring the world up to U.S. levels of quality of life.

Problem is, there probably aren't enough resources on the planet to allow for that...

Look when trade tariffs were dropped and free trade stated us to the bottom.

WHAT POLICIES of Bushs' outsourced jobs?

If you cant respond intelligently then I should just take this as another troll posting.

You can forget it he is not going to answer because he has NO answer. Gotta love the "Bush did it" accusations with ZERO facts to back them up.
