[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 847608, member: 60724"] Great discussion folks. The way I look at it protectionism is not the answer. For decades we have seen the handwriting on the wall. We currently can't do certain jobs here as cheaply as other areas of the world. So as I see it we either: 1. Accept that those types of jobs are gone and we now need to create new, better jobs that cannot be off-shored, and in the process we grow our economy with new types of goods and services the world has never seen before (lead) or... 2. We figure out how to keep the jobs and deliver the same goods and services, but deliver them cheaper than the offshore competition while STILL retaining our current worker's standard of living. Those are the two credible choices as I see them. I think #1 has a better shot than #2. We've been doing #2 already in this country with automation, and that too displaces workers. Anyone have alternatives? TJR [/QUOTE]
