Lou Dobbs: Worse than a Trade Protectionist
Dobbs is even worse than someone who just wants high tariffs (which are harmful enough): He can't stand trade, period. From CNN's "Paula Zahn Now":
ZAHN: Do you concede that there are any benefits to outsourcing, which is what Tom Freeman just told us?
DOBBS: I see no benefit whatsoever to the middle class of this country. There are great benefits to corporate America, U.S. multinationals, who are using the direct competition between cheap third world labor and the American middle class worker to create larger profits.
Not only is Dobbs completely wrong, he's utterly disingenuous. Middle-class Americans drive Japanese cars, buy Korean electronics, and enjoy Bangladeshi textiles in huge numbers. Dobbs is so far off the mark it's inexcusable for a person with anything better than an 8th-grade education.
