I agree (and it isn't contingent on the short memory of the average person). But on the other hand, this political stunt cost us some money. Maybe only a couple hundred million, but still...Say what you want about Bush and his team, but you must admit that Karl Rove is a political genius.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Good to see Shrub acting responisbly for a change.
Dude, you can't be serious. This whole issue has got to be one of the biggest political blunders Shrub has done in his presidency. First, he enacts steel tariffs early into his administration, pissing off the principled anti-protectionists in the Republican Party. In addition, it causes a fundamental rift between the US and its European allies when their support is really needed. Now, norrowly averting a trade war, he's repealed these tariffs, seriously pissing off steel workers in the up-for-grab steel industry states. So, he's alienated free traders in the right, steel workers, and the rest of the world. Good job, Rove.Say what you want about Bush and his team, but you must admit that Karl Rove is a political genius.

About 80 years ago, at 12, my mother entered the work market, and she was likely paid in the same range. The countries doing that now will probably need less time to increase the salaries to decent levels.
It is not reasonnable to forbid that kind of work without offering to the families concerned an equivalent income, because they need it.
They may not be making near what we make, but they're making a lot better than they otherwise would.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment
