He hasn’t had kind words for these multinational companies. There was an article by him somewhere lambasting these corporations; you still have it somewhere Cal?

I don’t really blame multinationals for the majority of this, just as I do not blame immigrants for our myriad immigration problems. They do what they do to stay solvent, to make a profit, to stay competitive.

Basically, it’s a lack of American leadership and an apathetic electorate (the sheeple) who are mostly to blame. Our “leadership” knows what’s in these trade deals and they have known for decades but have lacked either the resolve or the intellect to address this issue. I virulently reject the notion that “free trade”, in it’s present form, is somehow this conservative entity that dare not be questioned.

I know free-traders will come along later and excoriate my comment and tell me how wonderful things are and perhaps how I, as well as Hunter, are protectionists and isolationists. This they will do. What they won’t do, however, is trade with me. I get the Chinese deal and they get the American deal, and we trade. I never get any takers on my deal and I wonder why. If it is a good enough deal for our country, then surely, it must be a good deal for them as well.
