As we follow events in Iran and the Middle East, Pres BO and the Dems continue their trade war with Mexico and Canada.
Deroy Murdock is a columnist with the Scripps Howard News Service and a media fellow with the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University.
"For starters, Canadians find February’s $787-billion stimulus package as stimulating as a cold shower on a hot date.
It requires American-made construction materials in all federally funded public-works projects.
This “Buy American” provision would keep U.S. roads, bridges, and tunnels free of Canadian iron, steel, and other components, although such Canadian inputs were allowed before the Democratic Congress passed and President Obama signed this measure."
When will Canadian companies call for the return of Bush?
Bush understood free trade and economics!
What's more valuable to Canada? A president who believes in abortion and same sex marriage? Or a president who understands free trade?
What about Mexico? BO and the Dems have messed up our trade relations with Mexico:
"Democrats claim Mexican trucks are dangerous.
However, the Arizona Republic found that between 2003 and 2007, 1.2 percent of Mexican truckers in America were non-compliant with safety rules, versus 7 percent of U.S. drivers.
As Arturo Sarukhán, Mexico’s ambassador to the United States, wrote in the March 18 Wall Street Journal:
“During the 18 months that the program was in operation, 26 carriers from Mexico (with 103 trucks) and 10 from the U.S. (with 61 trucks) crossed the border over 45,000 times without any significant incident or accident.”
“Mexico has been the grown-up in this dispute,” says Dan Griswold, Director of the Cato Institute’s Center for Trade Policy Studies.
“Our truck ban is just an exercise in raw power based on a stereotype of Mexicans.”"
Here we are.
BO and the Dems think that the Mexicans can't drive safe trucks.
Are these the same people who used to say that we need to make friends overseas?
How do you make friends by lying about Mexico? Every Mexican should be outraged with BO, Pelosi and the Dems who promote lies about their country.
"Hope and change" is not about change or hope.
It's about paying back all of those unions who spent millions to elect BO!
As I wrote before, don't blame me because I voted for McCain!
