But the congresscritters were playing to the yahoos who think that the less we trade the more prosperous we become.

I can see how this would adversely effect the status of our friends to the North...maybe they should take a gander at my favorite, or favourite, blog site http://americanboom.com/blog/, and they can see for them selves that with the companies and what they're offering as far as high quality, sustainable, affordable, american made goods, we should see a turn around in less than the 3 years Obama predicted...as long as we stay away from utter protectionism...
