There is no mention in this New York Times story of why people are losing their jobs. Can you say "free trade"? Jobs are being outsourced to China and other parts of the world, where labor is cheap. What good are cheap goods if you don't have a job? Free trade will be the death of the West. A hundred years from now, if the West survives that long, people will look back at this time as the time of idiocy.
