Grace, RE: "This is the biggest problem with protectionist policies designed to lessen the pain of unemployment caused by jobs moving to places with a lower labor cost, it keeps people continuing to work in occupations that no longer have a competitive advantage and stops them from doing what they need to do, which is retrain and move into industries and occupations where it is possible for them to be competitive." ------- Extremely well said. I'd add, Protectionism creates short-term gain and long-term pain. Regards, Amy J
