Dmek,
I believe that outsourcing does create unemployment. However, you shouldn't make decisions solely based on the fact that there is a tragedy of sorts taking place. Decisions about free trade should be made with an eye towards the consequences of those decisions. I don't think we can fight outsourcing effectively; it's simply the result of a new world economy. It's sad, but true IMO.

i agree. but for the united states to be involved, there has to be something that they could gain from it. right now, we are gaining lower prices for just about all goods. is that worth the price of losing production jobs? that will never come back? in my eyes, the risk/ reward doesn't merit the U.S. to be part of the agreement
