Bush urges free trade, tech changes

I've come up with a catchy name for the Bush Adminstration's program on offshoring and outsourcing: Send American Work Oversea For Forever (SAW-OFF), because that'll be it's net effect.

"Six years ago, the largest export of this state was tobacco," Bush said in a speech in Charlotte, N.C. "And now, it's computer equipment. That's an amazing transformation of an economy."

I predict that, if Mr. Bush is re-elected, in six years North Carolina's major export will be ditch-diggers and waitresses...

President Bush warns against erecting barriers to trade with other nations.
