Is the issue more humanitarian than it is political? I think so, as a Business Student, I know very well that Consumers in the US prefer competition rather than protectionism to determine the future of their businesses, an argument possed by Republican Senators. That is true and Good, but these are not ordinary times for even Auto Competitors in Asia, some who have had to suspend their ancillary involvements in by the way activities. For the simple statistical reasons of 3 million people likely to lose jobs, another 4 million people dependent of the American Auto Industry potentially having the same fate, not forgetting the 100,000 workers that have been sacked, one would have thought the entire process would be a "humanitarian" rubber stamp in the senate but NO, it wasn't, and guess the guys responsible again, the same Republicans!!
The People of Mandela are sorry to say, but these Republicans, against their own President Bush this time only strengthen the voices of local and international observers who have timelessly asked the United States to solve its own humanitarian crisis before attacking other countries' humanitarian status. Let us hope the White House eventually bails them out, I am confident they will, but imagine if this option was non-existent. The People of Mandela take a particluar interest in this because the number of destitutes on the streets of the US in the cold winter have for long sought to be be bailed, as an example of freedom and democracy to others, the US must continue to bail its already bailed citizens and not anymore unbail any.
