Senator Splunge strikes again!

Here’s part of the transcript of John Kerry’s remarks to the Council on Foreign Relations in December 2003.

AUDIENCE: Just to move back on shore for a minute, or off shore. Domestic employment - what's the best American policy with respect to outsourcing of manufacturing jobs, increasingly service jobs?

Here’s the opening of Kerry’s response:

KERRY: Well, any candidate for president who stands up and tells people, as some are, that they're going to just stop it by getting tough on trade or whatever, is lying to the American people.

And here’s the conclusion of his answer:

We also need to do a better job of negotiating those trade relationships, but it's not the only way to do it.

He starts by dismissing trade negotiation and ends with…trade negotiation. This guy is the original Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I mean, he’s completely schizo. And by the way, the rest of his “solution” to outsourcing is changing tax policies (see the WashPost article on that matter - and my post here). He completely ignores the elephant in the room of wage variances between the U.S. and other countries.
