The WTO has ruled that the "dolphin-safe" labels that adorn tuna cans in the United States represent a barrier to trade. According to Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), "Weakening this label could have significant consequences for dolphin populations and consumers that have come to trust and rely on the Dolphin-Safe label."]]> http://economyincrisis.org/content/u-s-loses-wto-appeal-in-dolphin-safe-tuna-case/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/deficit-reduction-the-great-distraction http://economyincrisis.org/content/deficit-reduction-the-great-distraction#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 17:25:18 +0000 Dean Baker http://economyincrisis.org/?p=11142 http://economyincrisis.org/content/deficit-reduction-the-great-distraction/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/the-trade-deficit-keeps-draining-money-from-our-economy http://economyincrisis.org/content/the-trade-deficit-keeps-draining-money-from-our-economy#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 15:53:11 +0000 Dave Johnson http://economyincrisis.org/?p=11128 http://economyincrisis.org/content/the-trade-deficit-keeps-draining-money-from-our-economy/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/america-cant-compete-with-chinese-capitalism http://economyincrisis.org/content/america-cant-compete-with-chinese-capitalism#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 15:02:41 +0000 Thomas Heffner http://economyincrisis.org/content/our-libertarian-based-free-market-system-cannot-compete-chinese-state-run-capitalism By Thomas Heffner May 16, 2012
Chinese state-run corporate enterprises are given virtually limitless subsidization from their home governments, as well as from American state and federal incentives, to enter the open American market and break established U.S. industrial titans. ]]> http://economyincrisis.org/content/america-cant-compete-with-chinese-capitalism/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/how-the-trade-deficit-kills-jobs http://economyincrisis.org/content/how-the-trade-deficit-kills-jobs#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 14:08:45 +0000 Peter Crawford http://economyincrisis.org/?p=7121 http://economyincrisis.org/content/how-the-trade-deficit-kills-jobs/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/between-rock-and-hard-place http://economyincrisis.org/content/between-rock-and-hard-place#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 04:50:51 +0000 George Barlow http://economyincrisis.org/content/between-rock-and-hard-place http://economyincrisis.org/content/between-rock-and-hard-place/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/the-simplicity-of-eliminating-nafta http://economyincrisis.org/content/the-simplicity-of-eliminating-nafta#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 04:36:25 +0000 Peter Crawford http://economyincrisis.org/?p=10927 ]]> http://economyincrisis.org/content/the-simplicity-of-eliminating-nafta/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/wto-wants-made-in-the-world-products http://economyincrisis.org/content/wto-wants-made-in-the-world-products#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 04:01:41 +0000 Karl Rusnak http://economyincrisis.org/?p=11106 By Karl Rusnak May 16, 2012
The WTO is pushing an initiative called "Made in the World" that seeks to get people to accept that products are now assembled from sources across the globe. This may be a good PR move for the WTO and its agenda, but it doesn't change the facts: trade still picks winners and losers, and the United States consistently finds itself in the "losers" column.]]> http://economyincrisis.org/content/wto-wants-made-in-the-world-products/feed 0 http://economyincrisis.org/content/re-jobs-pick-the-low-hanging-fruit http://economyincrisis.org/content/re-jobs-pick-the-low-hanging-fruit#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 16:34:35 +0000 Leo Hindery Jr. and Leo W.

Disastrous free trade agreements have served to line the pockets of the owners of multinational corporations while rust-belt cities and small towns built around factories have seen their jobs disappear. ]]> http://economyincrisis.org/content/free-trade-has-devastated-american-industry/feed 1 http://economyincrisis.org/content/buddy-roemer-will-not-be-a-spoiler http://economyincrisis.org/content/buddy-roemer-will-not-be-a-spoiler#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 15:50:32 +0000 John Olen http://economyincrisis.org/?p=11071 By John Olen May 15, 2012
Buddy Roemer has been the most prominent voice for American jobs in the 2012 race for president. However, his message has gone largely unheard and his race for the Republican nomination has been replaced by an attempt at a third-party run.
