Your reply shows how much out of touch with reality you are. Explain how
we
are to compete in the world market, given our labor costs.

Tell me again how much we are supposed to make to be competitive with
$2.00/hour labor?

We simply are not going to be able to reduce wages enough to be competitive
with the third world. Now that the Pandora's box of free-trade is open, our
standard of living will be under fire until the standard of living in the
USA is equal to the standards of living in the poorest country in the world.

End of story.
