I am glad the people are free to leave the steel mills and factories to flip burgers, because these other countries they are supposed to be competing with don't have stuff like the EEOC, child labor laws, overtime laws, etc. First our brilliant government "gives" them all these things at a great cost to businesses, then they scream "FREE TRADE" and "CAPITALISM" when companies move elsewhere because the costs of building stuff is too high here.
Also, don't forget about the costs in security when you depend on folks that want to destroy you for things you need to protect yourself from them.
