When forming an opinion on economic and/or foreign policy

do you ever think about people outside of the US or not?

but yes. Obviously in foreign policy (kind of the whole point of foreign policy IMO). In economic policy I think I do poorly, but still better than many DUers who never seem to acknowledge that whatever harm globalization may have caused Americans, we face noweere near the fate that Indian and Chinese workers - such as existed - did before that same globalization gave tens of millions of them a chance to come from conditions dire beyond our ken. I always have to remind people who complain about Chinese laborers making 1000 yuan a month - about $4 a day - being exploited that their alternative is not ours - their alternative is subsistence farming or REAL indentured labor.
