Food Eater Lad - be serious.
Actually, right now employment seems to have leveled off - regardless of how misguided Bush's policies are, when you run a 600 billion dollar deficit, you must be spending somewhere!
But seriously, the Bush admin's MO from day one has been (both on issues which warranted it and not) pointing to someone else as the root for each and every problem. It never seems to take responsibility for much of anything that goes on anywhere - and I say this speaking as an independent.
The reason why China gets such a free ride is (because of their oppressive labor practices) they can provide many goods at a much lower cost to American consumers.
Howard Dean has addressed this issue recently stating that we should trade with only those who share the same standards as we do. That specific policy is a little silly of course - only a very few countries could make such a claim. But at least there is someone willing to address the issue.
