teevee,

>Don't American oil producers need to be protected too?

Well said. And while we're at, Nike employs cheap labor in Indonesia making athletic shoes for 6 cents and hour and then selling the shoes in the US for over $100. This is at the expense of American jobs. Let's stop that too.

The bottom line is that, purely and simply, protectionism in whatever form does not work. We all live in a global environment and everyone has a skill, everyone has a resource, which means everyone has a part to play.

The US fights protectionism in places like Japan while practicing it unashamedly at home.
