Lou Dobbs is a critic of international trade. He argues that trade takes away jobs from U. S. citizens and exports our national security.

Mom to daughter: Did you share the candy with your brother?
Daughter: Yes. I ate the candy and gave my brother the wrappers.
Husband comes home to see his wife and mom sharing a joke. The wife says, “I just learned that the joke is on me.”
