Where is he now...

And I'm referring to Ross Perot.  Remember him?  He ran for president a few years ago?  He's a Texas billionaire?  His famous words on NAFTA were that we'd "hear a giant sucking sound as jobs went to Mexico."

NOW do you remember him?

I bring up his name and quote, because the Hershey Chocolate Company is closing one of its plants, in Hershey, PA.  Many of the on-line comments referred to the fact that some of the chocolate is now made in Mexico! 

But they're not the only ones who have fled to the South.  If you go to some of the border towns (Del Rio comes to mind) you can see the american companies on the horizon.  The executives live in the U.S  probably, and cross over each morning to run the plants, with mexican workers.   Good for the mexican workers, bad for the U.S. workers.  Especially when you can SEE where the jobs went.

So Ross, we heard you, and some of us believed you!  But not the people that make up the rules.  The people that we ELECTED!  So where are you now, on Day 57!
