Comments on: Dobbs for president? http://bloggingblue.com/2009/11/26/dobbs-for-president/ Blogging Liberally in the Badger State Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:48:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Matt http://bloggingblue.com/2009/11/26/dobbs-for-president/comment-page-1/#comment-16206 Matt Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:54:41 +0000 http://bloggingblue.com/?p=7274#comment-16206 Dobbs' central arguments are the destruction of the middle class due to outsourcing of jobs to non-Americans. That seems to be the central philosophy of the AFL-CIO dinosaur. What you isolationists seem to not grasp is that these moves boost profits, which help AFL-CIO pensions. To take the position that Dobbs, the AFL-CIO, and yourself take on outsourcing is to be in complete denial that a labor market of more than 3 billion people in BRIC, et. al. would go untapped forever. Bottom line: your position and Dobbs' are remarkably closer than you perceive them to be. Strange bedfellows indeed.

Since you think that a comment on your blog constitutes a proxy for a session on your mind's workings, I bill at $100/hr.
