Aggressive unilateralism, while tempting, will only destroy the current liberal system of trade. Mr. Whitman should reconsider before suggesting that the crude protectionism and anti-free trade tirades of Pat Buchanan "do point in the right direction." They do not. --Chuanfei Chin...

Souder argued for a gesture in the opposite direction: making pensions portable, so that a worker who has been laid off can take his pension with him.
