Ah yes, the old free market notion at work. When it gets too hard to
fade the cost, the marketer merly moves the market. Actually, David,
most companies really should look to other "cost factors," as the real
underlying reason they can no longer compete. There are many of them,
and wages/benefits are but one.

Excuse me, but it was George Bush who proposed and pushed the NAFTA bill
through Congress, with the aid and assistance of many a republican. Many
a democrat was opposed to it. Of course, now that there's political hay
to be made of what really may be another non-issue, most of the players
are changing sides faster than a rat leaves a sinking ship.
