So when are we going to fix NAFTA? |
|
Remember that? Remember Clinton signing it with "promises" to eventually address labor and environmental concerns? It's been been 17 years.
Do you think health insurance reform will be different?

Reality always spoils the party mood. If can't you take opioids, consider jogging rather than blogging.

5. Just last month a nearby company that employed 300 people |

making cases for cosmetics moved its operation south of the border. They'll continue to outsource our jobs as long as they're allowed . . . all the time wondering why he can't afford their products.

7. Yes, but don't worry tax credits are on the way. |
|
Tax credits for green technology jobs are being handed out left and right as we speak. That guarantees the necessary 13 million jobs we failed to create this last 10 years are just around the corner. Because we certainly know tax cuts always create new jobs. Just remember when those 13 million new jobs that should have been created during the last decade are outsourced, they will get double tax credit. Once for opening a green technology job and once for shipping it out of the US.
So don't worry about NAFTA and all the other "free" trade corporate written agreements, we'll have them fixed along with health care in the next 30 or 40 years.

9. it's bigger than NAFTA. |
|
unless we take serious steps to discourage outsourcing, it's going to be hard for the middle class to recover.

10. "They" never said when or where those "newly created jobs" were supposed to come from? |
|
or, what those who have been outsourced out of thie jobs were supposed to do to support themselves in the meantime?

13. Unfortunately, it would appear the country has literally get to |
|
Banana Republic Status before our Leadership will acknowledge and try to do something about it .
Look at Financial Meltdown. Does anyone really believe all these well-experienced and educated people from both Parties and Wall Street were caught completely blindsided????
Washington only moves when we are in absolute crisis. It appears they will continue to run things into the ground until a full collapse. The Free Trader Elites have too much invested in China and Asia so they will continue to push the destruction of our country. Transnationals have allegiance to no country and Congress has sold its soul to Transnationals.
