9. I guess everyone should work for 30 cents an hour

10. Have you read the book? That's not what he's saying. nt

11. OK, you win....

...if we trade with other countries, we will all be working for pennies.

I think the GOP has been awful about trade. CAFTA contained protections for big pharma and American sugar farmers, hardly free trade. Just because the Republicans are bad doesn't mean the Democrats should be worse.

Any jobs we lose to trade are jobs we shouldn't have in the first place.
