Is he? Claiming to fight for the working man yet think about it. Lot of labor jobs dont exactly have areas of advancement so for the car assembler or truck driver where is their future? Especially when it comes to the american dream & retirement & health care or insurance when older & not working. If someone else wants to do a deadend job so be it especially for a lower wage that's their choice to do but that seems like it would hurt the economy & deficit more than trade. I mean look at the lay offs in Detriot. The most one would get for retirement is like a couple hundred thousand dollars which if you are young say under 45 might be ok. You might be able to learn or get a job somewhere else & hopefully invest wisely. But certainly if you are over that mark & been there 15 20 years it doesnt seem really possible to live the rest of your life on that. I mean most "experts" claim that now aday's you need to have like $3 million by retirement. $300k vs $3 million. That & taxes drain.

agreed. lou dobbs and pat buchannan truly love america. they just are so enamored by the notion of fighting for the 'working american', that they don't consider the actual consequences of their beliefs. I don't question either of their patriotism, just their economics knowledge.

Communist - NO.
Raging Populist - YES.
Both result in poverty. It is only a matter of degree.
