The Wal-Mart Effect: 200,000 U.S. Jobs Lost To China Trade - 06/27/07

By Doug Cunningham

A new report from the Economic Policy Institute called “The Wal-Mart Effect” says the U.S. has lost 200,000 jobs due to Wal-Mart’s trade with China. WakeUpWalMart.com is launching an animated TV spot today highlighting The Wal-Mart Effect on American jobs. The ad questions why Wal-Mart does business with China, asserting that China sells weapons to terrorists in Afghanistan.

1. Hey! I Have An Idea!
Let's reward candidates who voted for permanent 'free' trade with China by making them President!

Makes sense to me!

2. Which did that?
Or rather, how many? (I would think it'd be pretty popular... you know... $$$$ and all.)

4. Clinton did in 1993
Al Gore too. I know it's not the popular version of history around here but it's the truth.

5. I knew Bill did... and I knew Gore backed him up...
I thought maybe Clinton or Obama had done something along these lines during their time in office.

I know Obama voted for the Oman trade bill... which I can't forget about. Hillary... well... I just don't expect any different from her on this issue.

*sigh*

Too many years of 'triangulation'.

6. Edwards Voted For It
Mrs. Clinton was not yet in office - but she's on record as strongly supporting her husband in making this happen.

Wish I could say I was surprised.

Ah well.
