When a wealthy businessman like Mit Romney tells you about...

...tremendous opportunities in Latin America, he's talking about one of two things: He's either looking at vacation real estate or he's going to ship your job there.

I don't know if Romney needs another resort, but he's been bragging about signing new trade agreements for the entire campaign. Maybe he's spinning it that we'll see a drastic reduction in the price of sombreros under his stewardship, but I've seen this movie before with George Bush and CAFTA. Spoiler alert: those trucks go back across the border empty.

Also, when Mitt Romney tells about how he will give us "an increasing wage", he should look into the camera and tell the union policemen, firefighters, teachers, Teamsters, and auto workers that he's going to give them a raise.
