How’s that “free trade” thing working out, America?
I think it’s amazing how when the democrats are in charge there are no homeless or at least it’s not a problem
Exactly what do you have in mind when you say “free trade”?
Perfect timing......homeless population explosion just in time for a republican POTUS
MSM throws party.....
NYT buys extra barrels of ink....
HUD and Wall St. friends of BO will figure out a way to turn all those foreclosed homes into HUD Section 8s.
Taxpayers soon to be landlords without getting to put the rent checks in the bank!!!
So in other words we need to pay more taxes so the gubmint can pay the rent for the “homeless”.
Absurd.
Nothing is working out excellently.
America is falling into ruin.
Ditto. 1 percent spins they create jobs. Well their recklessness on Wall Street and protected by their puppets in Congress killed 11 million jobs. Who taught the Chinese and Indians how to do jobs Americans used to do? In 1980 China could not run a factory and be proficient as an American one. Who taught them? Corporate America (1 percenters) who thought they can make even more money by teaching Chinese workers how to do it. Same with Indian workers. I remember a Chinese American buddy of mine who worked for ATT was sent six months to Shanghai to teach the Chinese how to write software for a cellphone network. He was chosen because he can speak fluent Mandarin. I told him that if the Chinese master that his software division will be laid off by ATT. He acknowledged that. If he refused the assignment he will be on the shitlist for future layoffs. Three years later ATT laid off his entire division. All assignments were done by the Chinese. Those good paying jobs are now gone. So how will the families of the 1 percent go shopping if crime makes it unsafe for them to not have bodyguards? How much of their gross salaries must be taxed so sufficient food stamps and unemployment benefits are funded to prevent social unrest? Worst the PLA can access the technology to modernize and one day kick the US out of the Far East and the Western Pacific with the technology our greedy corporations gave them.
See how Easy it is. Initiate a program like this in the background; have the money run out; demonize Republicans for not wanting to extend these benefits; media starts their campaign, and we have another built-in welfare program forever. Nobody says they have to stop drugs, get treatment, go learn a trade...just add more money to the budget and go on our “merry way”. Been done thousands of times by the politicians.
ah contraire, my dear friend... it is all working out perfectly (for the communists) the increase in rules, regs, etc. and a president actively engaged in driving jobs offshore ( and the last president did his part too )and the generous government handouts, designed to create a permanent dependent class, have come together perfectly.... free trade is not the problem, communists and socialists are the problem, and as bad as fubo is, bushie 2 was not a whole hell of alot better.... entrenched ruling class politicans have to go, regardless of party affiliation... only then, can the American people once again move to the head of the line...
We respectfully disagree then.
“And yet the Washington establishment keeps pushing illegal immigration, etc. etc. etc.”
The housing problem is one of the reasons they push illegal immigration; they want the here as consumers (who might buy your house).
“Free trade” naturally causes the countries with the highest standard of living to fall as their workforce becomes too costly; why pay for an American worker, and deal with the safeguards involved, when you can have Red Chinese slaves knee-dip in mercury manufacturing everything?
The 1% does create jobs - in Asia.
You mean that system where when a bunch of bankers tank their portfolio, we bail them out and guarantee their bonuses? That free trade system?
It has been postulated that the next fiscal crises will result from the States being unable to meet pension obligations. Perhaps homelessness will be one of the effects.
