Lester Thurow. an economist. was before the Commerce Committee. and I said. "Is it inevitable there will be lower wages in the U.S. as a result of the free trade agreements? Is it inevitable that we will homogenize lower wages in America?" He said. "Only for twothirds of the American people." I said. "Will we see lower wages in America because of these agreements?" He said. "Only for twothirds of the American people." Well. if you are one of the twothirds of the American people. maybe that ought to give you pause. Those folks who see over the horizon. who have some omniscient view of the world. tend to call us isolationists. xenophobes. protectionists. and the list goes on. They say. oh. oh. this guy is talking protectionism. Not at all.
