GOP’s Achilles Heel – Free Trade / Trickle Down Economics

Long before the current economic collapse began whole towns suffered as factories closed and good paying jobs left the country. Now we have an election where both sides are trying to claim intellectual / ethical supremacy in restoring those same jobs without ever mentioning it was the Fail Policies of “Free Trade” and “Trickle Down Economics” that has gotten us here

There is no denying the effects of Free Trade and the Off Shoring of America’s manufacturing jobs has finally brought America to her knees.
