To the editor,
Government a Poor safety net.
Some congressmen are boasting how government is providing a safety net for
displaced workers harmed by trade treaties, such as the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). But extended unemployment benefits and
retraining assistance will be ineffective in a dwindling high paying job
market. The bad news is that the burden of government regulation and out
of control spending has eaten up the productivity gains of American
businesses and forced many to relocate abroad. Our high-tech and basic
industries, as well as broad sectors of manufacturing, are facing
extinction due the high costs of doing business in America.
A study by the National Association of Manufacturers released in
December of last year (2003) documents that the federal regulatory burden
is the single most important factor behind the exodus of jobs from the
United States (U.S.). Simply put: Many, if not most , American businessmen
who relocate abroad aren't abandoning our nation's free enterprise system.
They're fleeing socialism.
Government programs to help those injured by other government
programs may be an easy sell politically. But such programs merely
compound the problem without providing real relief. Where do the extended
benefits come from that Congress wants to bestow on the unemployed?
Government has wealth of its own except that which it taxes from its
people. The additional burden imposed on the productive sector to pay for
this government generosity will make it even more difficult for domestic
business to compete. How much better not to create the problem in the
first place! Let's insist that Congress ratchet down the burden of
government at home and quit supporting trade agreements that empower
regional regulatory bureaucracies and encourage the relocation of American
businesses abroad.

major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
