    Oh, if they proposed something like the Marshall Plan I’d be fucking pleased.

    This is just convincing US companies to take advantage of the cheap labor, as if they really needed that much convincing.

      Labor is cheaper overseas. The Philippines, Indonesia, and Bangladesh have people working in what amount to little more than slave camps. Latin American governments struggle harder to keep their populations in line, as evidenced by socialist uprisings in Nicaragua, Cuba, Bolivia, and Venezuela.
