Workers Tell Lieberman Their Greatest Worries
Another local press account of how a candidate - here Lieberman - is rubbing elbows with the common man, this time from the Nashua Telegraph (NH). Among other items, Lieberman talks of plans to help US firms compete agains foreign competition, and to increase government purchasing of US products. A taste: Lieberman said in two weeks, he will detail plans to help manufacturers compete with foreign competition. Specifically, he mentioned China, which makes up more than 20 percent of the U.S. trade deficit. Posted by Alan at July 9, 2003 09:11 AM | TrackBack Comments
So Lieberman is suggesting that the federal government should spend more to get the same stuff they are already buying. This is to help manufacturers who are getting killed in the world market because their union labor is too expensive. This election is going to be hilarious. Man, I hope Lieberman gets the ticket. Posted by: goober at July 9, 2003 04:59 PM It is hard to compete when the average worker in China makes $.50 per hour, Mexico (awg 3.50/hr) has lost 2 million jobs to China, in the last three years. I don’t know the answer to this but getting rid of NAFTA isn’t it. We should look out for our neighbors. Posted by: sophia at July 9, 2003 09:34 PM Sophia, The government doesn’t make anything, including jobs. They create an environment that determines whether jobs can be made or not, but government is only force, not wealth. The government can broke tomorrow (as it often has) and the economy will be fine. If you don’t think letting people keep their own money will improve the economy, then I’m watering a dead plant. However, if you’re willing to suspend the communist manifesto for a moment, this will all make sense. Posted by: torpedo_eight at July 14, 2003 01:48 PM Buy
