May 17, 2006 -- Free trade is inevitable
Clark has gotten a lot of negative feedback recently regarding his belief that the marketplace should decide what things cost. Hes said it about cars, clothes and even concert tickets. But people somehow think its unpatriotic to let goods from other countries into our own and to buy them. Well, Clark stands by his opinion. People in these countries make better products than we do in the States, and it allows them to have jobs and earn a living when they couldnt before. Free trade is a positive thing, yet people take only a negative approach to it. A report by Canadian researchers shows that 70 percent of the jobs that will exist in the U.S. and Canada in 2020 do not exist today. Those are new jobs being created and people have no idea they will hold them. Capitalist economies go through constant change. Thats the nature of the game and companies simply need to adjust and adapt.
