Free Trade: Thirteen years and 11 free trade deals after Congress last gave a president "fast track" trade authority, it's unclear whether President Obama will get it back. Misleading claims from the right aren't helping.

Trade is great, but a trade pact with nations that manufacture at a fraction of what it costs to manufacture here has destroyed our economy. We need offsetting tariffs to protect American manufacturing jobs. Many products sold here have no American manufactured option.
First thing we do, tear down the Reagan statues.
Whining about the rules, again.
I find the traitorous among us have the thinnest of skins. An odd trait for such bullies.
It’s what they do.
It’s really best to ignore the leftist open free trade and open borders types.
It’s like attempting to talk to those in D.C. It’s absolutely pointless.
If you back a Free Traitor into a corner they will admit they prefer income taxes to raise revenue over tariffs/sales/user taxes. And they don’t think they’re progressives.
Yep, forgot to mention the growing alliance with Putin’s Russia. Thanks for adding that.
I suggest you consider using that as your new tagline so people understand you're a citizen of the world.
Be proud bert, do it.
Own it bert, embrace it.
I just don’t like deathwishes. So, when’s the proletarian revolution coming, comrades?
Did you see Baltimore? 40 years ago Baltimore was a major seaport, manufacturing(cars,ships,steel), food(spices) and many other wealth creating enterprises. Now it is a menagerie for the great unwashed whosen ancestors used to work in those factories.
Why not it is a compliment unrealized by the ignorati
Ignorance hides the blessings and prosperity that comes from lifting one’s horizons beyond the mouth of the cave and grasping what the world has to offer
We don’t have to be in a corner to denounce the archaic taxation that is a tariff and the literal business killing that results.
Only a person with no fundamental education in the business of today will advocate a return to tariffs
Bert : So the take away is as a form of revenue generation, I can put you down as favoring the income tax. OK got it. Not only are you a citizen of the world you you are progressive too! How special is that!
The world is a favela with no middle class. No thank you.
I have to warn you, I’m a member of the proletariat, and nothing like those social misfits in Baltimore (whose situation largely is self-inflicted). In order to find people like me in order to string us up from lamp posts, or whatever, you’ll need to set up a vast internal security apparatus (luckily, most of that work is done), and some reeducation camps.
If only we raise tariffs high enough, those thugs in Baltimore could get good manufacturing jobs....from Whitey.
Everyone that disagrees with you is in favor of the income tax. And killing kittens.
How much more money do I need to send to the Treasury? Let’s get started! Cities are burning!
Marx: Free trade will hasten the social revolution.LOL, ignorati, indeed.
central_va: Baltimore is burning because of free trade.
