chuckiechan,

Just what does "maybe people should stop shopping at walmart" have to do with anything? What difference does it make if a person shops at walmart, target, kmart, fredmyers ect...? Majority of the products are made overseas no matter where you buy them at. Walmart just happens to be leading the market right now.

In terms of products, majority of the products out there on the market are made overseas. This is a growing problem for our workers here in america because factories are shutting down and moving thier factories overseas. Thousands of jobs are lost for good. These people often times people who have dedicated years of thier life to the company are stuck with absolutly nothing. To scramble looking for new jobs.

IT and other programming jobs are already suffereing the same fate. Its going overseas because labor is cheaper.

Who benifits the most from this?????

The answer is the owners of these huge corporations. They are the only ones to beinfit from thier products being manufactured overseas. All the employees who make the company function loose out. The owner himself does not make the company function. Its employees is what makes it function and these corporations don't want to pay the wages here in the so they close down factories and go overseas for cheap labor.

The politians need to make it a law that if a company starts a factory in the usa that it needs to stay in the usa. Instead of creating jobs for the american people they are closing down jobs. By elimiating outsourcing the american unemployment rates will steadily decrease rather than increasing as it is now.

The government continues to give money to all these countries because they claim to be poor and need to be fed. At the same time we are also allowing these huge corporations to build in these countries for cheaper labor. When is it going to stop? We are supposably in a huge defiect in budget. It will get worse if the free trade continues to go at the rate it is.

Okay exactly what is free trade?

Free trade is an agreement that allows manufacturers, agriculturers to benifit by increased wealth and to improve the competitive marketplace, thereby allowing consumers to get lower priced goods.

Okay now where does that leave the consumers at with reduce priced products in a high ecomony?

So basically what is happening is manufactureres are giving us products at lower prices at the expense of your jobs.

These jobs in effect are causing the increased unemployment rates. Forcing more and more people to go to the government for food stamps, welfare and other assistance and in a continued domonio effect its causing budget cuts in healthcare and other areas.

One decision effects other things in life and I do belive that by allowing the free trade to go on as it has. It created a huge domonio effect that is not just affecting our american workforce, but also has effected budgeting in terms of educaiton for our children and healthcare.
