File this under: crack cocaine, protectionism, similarities between

Here's a bit on the Dallas Federal Reserve's president talking about the Buy America provisions in the upcoming stimulus bill. And I quote:
"Let me just be blunt. Protectionism is the crack cocaine of economics. It may provide a high. It's addictive and it leads to economic death."
Given the concessions to unions recently, this may be closer to reality than we'd like to think.
