WTO-PNTR For China

[Tom Lehman]

I don't think this is a big issue today in the union movement.  Sure,
there are people who are tied to the big dee-fence contractors; and some
on the left who state that war is good for the economy, that's why we
have them.  There probably are a few people who haven't grasped the
high-tech nature of modern warfare and the very real potential use of
tactical nuclear weapons and other nasty stuff regardless of how it is
delivered.

Also, the dee-fence contractors operate on the profit motive and they
will sell anything they can to anybody who is willing to pay, if the
government lets them.  That's always been the case, I don't see why that
would change now.
