93 Million out of work. How many more have to be put out of work in order for the deal to work? The few whom are employed are already supporting way too many whom are not working. so senators and House representatives i would like to know what is the estimated amount of people this travesty would have to be retrained and for what specific jobs for retraining is to take place. The textile manufacturers are hit in the 62 page amendments to TPA.
What goodies will be added to Buy the votes to pass TAA. The bridge from Detroit to Windsor, Fast Rail in California. More Condoms and whatever. The bill already cuts Medicare reform - so the elderly and disabled will be hit and to what extant. Funny the disabled will not be able to get employment if there is a glut of job seekers because employers could not afford the modifications, nor would they have o hire anyone needing a modifications. So in essence the bill will blow up in the face of the elderly and disabled!
What goodies will be added to Buy the votes to pass TAA. That is what is really happening. The Dems are using it to squeeze more concessions from the so-called Rep controlled Congress. The Dems know that the Reps really want TPA and the agreements that follow, i.e., the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Trade in Service Agreement (TISA), and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
I predict that there will be a deal that will give the Dems (and Obama) all kinds of goodies in return for the passage of TAA - something the Dems really want. The net result will be a Dem victory that will portray the Dems as the defender of the American worker, however phony that may be, and cast the Reps as the corporatists who protect the wealthy. Total scam. The big loser: American workers once again.
