Yeah, it’s just that that $6.99 t-shirt at Target comes with a big social cost.
As for the oil issue – maybe we wouldn’t have all these political problems if we weren’t so dependent on foreign oil. And is the cost of a barrel really a free trade price? Or is it set by a cartel that has us by the you-know-whats?
I’m all for free trade, but I keep wondering what it means to my kids. We’ve said it so often on this board, but what is this country producing anymore? The jobs are leaving. Even the good jobs. Will my kids have as high a standard of living as us?
