In the meantime, what do you tell the people who are put out of work because of this "reform"? You can't expect people who work in coal mines, steel mills, etc. for their entire lives to just retrain all of a sudden.
I also wonder how many people are okay with these economic costs but will turn right around and bitch about Bush is supposedly ruining the US economy and how terrible that is.
If other countries want to industrialize, fine, but we shouldn't have to be handicapped so it can happen. Here in Pittsburgh, you can go up and down the riverbanks and look at all of the brownfields where steel mills used to be, a good example of how we're good enough at screwing ourselves to begin with and don't need some screwball treaty to worsen things.
