That would be globalization. Because in a world where some people are willing to work for pennies on the dollar (and where environmental protections are low to non-existent) vs. American labor, the U.S. will continue to lose jobs.
So, do you think we should continue to spiral down until we are all living in mud huts and eating a bowl of rice per day (while our corporate masters get wealthier and more powerful), or do you think we should protect our industries and our way of life by enacting trade laws and tariffs that offset the differences between our environmental and labor standards and the standards of others?
