Another voice against Pres Obama's trade war on Mexico

We add USA Today to the growing list of people and newspapers critical of Pres Obama's trade war on Mexico:

"The politically powerful Teamsters Union and its enablers in Congress threw up roadblock after roadblock.

Last month, a spending-bill provision killed a 2007 pilot project that had allowed about 100 Mexican trucks to travel past a commercial zone within 25 miles of the border.

Predictably and completely legally, Mexico retaliated — by slapping tariffs on $2.4 billion worth of strawberries, grapes, dishwashers, pencils, cordless telephones, pet food and more than 80 other U.S. export products.

Targets include California wine makers, Oregon potato producers and a Wisconsin soy sauce maker.

Mexico has threatened to escalate the tariffs if the U.S. doesn't restore the trucking program." (USA Today)

There you have it! "Hope and change" with a protectionist twist!
