Damn, you beat me to it.
From his posts I can see that Rally Jon has bought the 'free trade' propaganda hook line and sinker. I long for the days when people used to be concerned about making the US a better place than the rest of the world instead of selling it out for a buck. Some people don't seem to mind when its not their job thats being outsourced.
Current trade agreements like NAFTA and china's MFN are nothing more than economic treason that only benefits multinational corporations and a very small segment of the US population.
I often wonder how bad things will have to get before people wise up to whats going on and demand rational trade policies with other nations.
Unfortunately those who promote the selling out of our nation get away with it due the general ignorance of the populace concerning the economy and trade.
The classification of a opressive gulag nation like china as a 'most favored nation' says it all.
