   I it saving the *consumer* money that made all the jobs go offshore in the   
   first place, and lead to the gutting of many towns and communities.  Let the   
   consumer vote with their wallet, and you will not have a country left by the   
   end of the century.  Free Trade is not the panacea people made it out to be,   
   and some barriers are necessary safeguard the nation, and your way of life.   
      
   IT seems when it comes between choosing the wellbeing of their own nation and   
   people, and adhering to some economic ideals, some people still choose the   
   latter, despite the very obvious decline this brings about.
