“Do you disagree with Bridenstine and Cruz’s article?”

From reading the headline, of course I agree. I didn’t read the article. I happen to agree with what Cruz says about the Constitution and a lot of things. But based on his votes, it is just talk. I won’t ever listen to him again. No credibility. He is willing to entrust Obama (and trust Obama) and his corrupt administration with the one of the most significant pieces of legislation of his presidency, which will bring about the total transformation of the United States as we know it.

*******
Take a look at this item, Dallas Morning News, Jan. 9 2015:

WASHINGTON — The U.S.-Mexico trucking dispute, the oldest sore point in NAFTA, apparently came to an end Friday when the U.S. Department of Transportation said Mexican truckers are now welcome to apply for long-haul trips in the United States.

*******

NAFTA is a free trade agreement, I remind you. Why can’t the government SECURE an American industry, trucking, by PROTECTING it from low wage Mexican truckers? One of my neighbors is a trucker with his own rig; he says he may have to sell his truck because he has had only two hauls in six weeks.

All hail free trade!!!! Are you prepared give up your job for free trade (and support Cruz) and join the 93 million Americans who can not find a job? No, I am not against trade. If you notice, Cruz will, along with Ryan and the other Republicans, correctly exalt “trade”, and its benefits, trying to make people equate “trade” with “free trade agreements.” Free trade agreements are destroying the American economy.

Well, your neighbor is certainly more important than the other 330 million Americans, so by all means, let us drop everything and cave in to the wants and needs of your neighbor.

(Singular anecdotes are meaningless when you're talking about macro-economic principles. Try taking an econ class someday. It might help. I doubt it, but it might.)
