Ith betrayal our politicians have pursued a policy of globalization moving andjobs, our wealth factories to mexico and overseas. It has left their workers with hard apiut poverty and when subsidized foreign steel is dumped into our markets, threatening our factories, the politicians have proven they do nothing.
