Wall St. still spewing “Free Trade”
Just watching CNN listening to the “Economic Experts” discussing massive layoffs all across America and I just can’t believe they are still espousing “Free Trade” as the cure for our current economic woes.

Sure let’s ship a few 100 thousand jobs off to China and see how that helps

240,000 jobs lost just for October 2008

1,200,000 jobs lost just this year alone under the Bush Administration

And many many more job cuts yet to come

1. Yeah, well so does Paul Krugman
and he is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal who just won a Nobel Prize.

We can't innovate without enforcement of the Sherman Act, and without innovation we have to compete with those making $2/day. Tough row to hoe.

2. Obama needs to change this
Or we'll see a Palim Administration in 2012
