The Benefits of Free Trade ping
First off the Great Recession hasn’t ended and secondly we do know the cause of the job losses.
Hasn’t this been the intent since Jan 20, 2010?
my father spoke frequently when I was a child about the destruction of the middle class. I think in many ways he was ahead of his time.
GLOBALISM G-O-B-A-L-I-S-M
Sponsored by both the Rats and the GOP, it has exported American jobs overseas to the point where we make nearly NOTHING we consume here anymore.
The ONLY people to benefit are Wall Street and the Commodity dealers. Everyone is being degraded to third world status in what was once the most affluent nation on earth.
But as the major trade deals were made, the American people were assured (for 20 or more years) that they would be retrained for the "high tech, high paying" jobs of the future. Well, the future is here, so where are the high tech, high paying jobs for all the retrained workers?
Those who've pushed these policies for years are running out of lies. Now about all they have is: "It's a global economy."
Unless there is quick and substantial improvement, these policies will become the hot political issues of the near future.
I’m seriously thinking about giving up myself. darn ran out of rope and in freefall for the past 2 and a half years Struggling to make these house payments in a socialist economy is no fun at sll, two part time jobs aint even enough,
I wonder how many saw the irony in the term, "Service Economy" twenty years ago? Anybody who didn't see the Internet and supply chain automation cutting out those positions wasn't awake.
Why would someone want to be a software engineer anyway? Just have a few kids, work at Wal-Mart or a restaurant, and get on ‘Food Stamps’..... The new American Dream.
(thanks globalists)
In many ways they are more capitalist than we are.
“More troubling, these jobs in accounting, financial analysis, commercial printing and a broad array of other mostly white-collar occupations are unlikely to come back, experts predict. “
Yes, they will be hard to get back with Obama’s current policy of Wall Street bashing.
I went out to buy BR40 120 watt bulbs today. GE used to make them here in the US. I was told the Obama administration has banned them. My only choice was to buy CFLs made in China. I can't use them because my house is wired with electronic dimmers. It's getting rather dark in here.

Funny, my liberty was downsized when Obama took power....
every US president does the same thing.
they want foreign-policy-convienence,
so they trade away US jobs.
do you think our ‘’’allies’’’
want to be in A’stan?
of course not.
they are paid off, with one-way trade deals
Really?
America will NEVER be able to compete with China as long as the capital gains tax rates are 0% there, and up to 35% here.
It is by design.
We need a president that can lead! All that has to be done is lower the corp rate tax to 10% Loosen regulations so that companies can compete. Give companies tax breaks for creating jobs here...The more jobs they create the bigger the tax break!
They do not have the EPA, OSHA, HIPPA and ERISA to deal with.
“...jobs in accounting, financial analysis, commercial printing and a broad array of other mostly white-collar occupations are unlikely to come back, experts predict...”
If you look at the U.S. skill base, it just isn’t all that skilled. Our education system is the underlying long-term problem. Along with so-called free trade. Add in an unhealthy amount of regulation, government mandates, and tax disincentives and you have to wonder how our economy is doing as well as it is.
