Tucker puts blame in the wrong place

Columnist Cynthia Tucker again missed the point on where to blame the way things are for the American economy.

First, we let jobs, manufacturing, whatever be outsourced to foreign countries. Second, this free trade is hurting American industries, especially without protection from the government. Third, it's not the conservatives who are hurting us; the liberals/progressives are, with their sundry ideas, for example, the person Tucker quoted in her column. Forth, yes, illegal immigrants are and will continue to hurt the American workers. Fifth is the CEOs and the people themselves.
