Good News/Bad News

This president wanted to outsource management of several major U.S. seaports--to an Arab company. A joke, right? An internet hoax? Is the "world's only remaining Superpower" now incapable even of managing its own ports? We are becoming a pure and voracious consumer nation, reliant on others for the production, supply, and servicing necessary to appease our gluttony.

The Bad News is that undocumented workers may drive down American wages; the Good News is that declining American wages may make the U.S. more competitive in the global marketplace.
