An editorial in The Washington Post, January 2, 1995. See if you can spot the non sequitur:

The world is getting steadily richer.

...This rising wealth ... means that people live longer, are better educated and have better tools with which to work. The increased competition that the United States is feeling has little to do with the new trade laws. People in dozens of poor countries are now capable of making the goods that used to be a monopoly shared only by producers in North America, Western Europe and Japan....

The infant mortality rate in Kenya is 61 per 1,000 births, and in Guatemala it's 62—lower than it was here in 1930 (it's now 8 per 1,000 births).... Rising wealth means not only a better life, but sometimes life itself. That's a point to keep in mind if your congressman starts talking about abolishing American foreign aid.
