Within the last few minutes, PoliBlog’s Sitemeter registered my 100,000th visitor.
My thanks to all the readers out there. It’s a long way from wondering if I was ever going to get more than a handful of hits a day!

I hate to tell the Reverend, but even if we were of the mind to “rescind” NAFTA, jobs are still going to go abroad. Aside from arresting people for investing abroad, you can’t stop it-nor should we want to do so. If you force employers to keep plants in the US, that isn’t going to save jobs. Indeed, it will evenutally cost them. Either the company will not grow, and be unable to hire workers, or the cost of doing business vis-a-vis competitors will continue to rise and eventually cause it to go out of business, which will cost jobs.

I always find it amazing that candidates claim that they have some “plan” to “create” jobs. Lieberman just stated he had a plan to create 10 million jobs Now, aside from the federal government hiring people, the President can no “create” jobs. It is an absurd proposition.
And regarding the anti-free trade arguments, in the sense that free tade is ruining our economy, have any of these guys noticed that in the aggregate our standard of living is the best that it has ever been in the history of mankind? And that is not just true for “the rich.” Don’t these guys understand that globalization is taking place in large part because the world plays by our rules these days (i.e., market capitalism)? And that to build trade barriers would be to damage our economy?
