[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 847623, member: 56140"] TJR, Funny you call it protectionism. I am sure you are aware that many of our "trade partners" protect their intrests first. Protectionism, as you would like to call it, is being used against us. Japan limits the number of cars imported into their country. China has rules about what can be made and sold in China and limits what goods can be imported. Should we be the ones that get stung by this? Should we stand up and say "Protectionism is bad and we refuse to do it" while the other guys continue to do so? What will it take to convince any of us to look out for number one? Will we wait until we become a 3rd world country before we wise up. Are you waiting until your job gets sent overseas or your employer has the option to bring imported workers to perform your job for pennies on the dollar? Never think that will happen? How about your children? Are you setting your children up for failure in 50 years? These are very real threats. I truly believe we are seeing the "growing pains" of this world economy and I truly believe this is only the tip of the iceberg. It is going to get worse. There is no way you, or anyone else, can convince me moving jobs to another country creates jobs here. It may improve some industries, but it will not create more jobs than those that are lost.
