America Should Tend to Her Own Knitting
The US should not lecture the world on labor policy. During the past 30 years she has destroyed the organized labor movement. With no one left to negotiate for them, the wages of workers have remained flat. Millions of wives had to join the labor force just to make do. Maxed out on credit, the middle class sinks with the economy.
The USA is the great polluter of the world. Dunning other nations to consider environmental measures is akin to Senator McCain urging everyone to eliminate torture.
The Asian 'Tiger' economies depended on the USA for export-led growth. That has evaporated. To recover Asia must develop her domestic markets. Xenophobic US trade policies don't help anyone.
