[quote=Eugene][quote]If that does not work, we will have to take away all benefits, such as food stamps, welfare and UE benefits to teach them the virtues of remaining competitive in a global market. [/quote]

and don’t forget OSHA and the 40-hour week … real globally competitive countries have no need for such nanny-state regs.[/quote]

And don’t forget that we’ll also have to get rid of all environmental protections. If we want to compete with China, Laos, and Burkina Faso our corporations will need to be able do dump toxic waste and heavy metals anywhere they want. Otherwise they will have to waste too much money conforming to environmental “nanny state” regulation.
