Deal with the Dragon | Daniel Griswold | Cato Institute: Commentary

Deal with the Dragon | Daniel Griswold | Cato Institute: Commentary: "Politicians who call for higher tariffs on imports from China are aiming straight for the pocketbooks of the poor and middle class."

"While trillion-dollar deficits are terrible, they are not China's fault, but that of our profligate politicians in Washington."

"Of the $179 it costs to actually make an iPhone, the study found that only $6.50 is spent on the labor to assemble it in China. Yet the full price of the iPhone hardware is counted in our bilateral trade deficit with China."

Come back with those petition signatures! | River Falls Journal | River Falls, Wisconsin: "River Falls police were asked to track down and find a suspect who had made off with a batch of Sen. Sheila Harsdorf recall petition signatures late Sunday afternoon. The alleged theft occurred on the sidewalk near EconoFoods. The male suspect pretended he wanted to sign the petition to recall Harsdorf but instead swiped the forms with signatures and drove off."

I don't think Harsdorf should be be recalled but I certainly don't agree with what this man did!
