U.S. Chamber of Commerce Launches Yet Another Financial Campaign Against U.S. Workers & Main Street
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 2 Jul 18 | Sundance

Posted on 07/03/2018 7:42:53 AM PDT by xzins

Today U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue announced another campaign to protect and defend his Wall Street contributors against initiatives that benefit Main Street U.S.A. This is not the first time, and unfortunately it will likely not be the last time.

For a great historic reference consider THIS ARTICLE from 2014; when the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced their direct attack against the Tea Party backed candidates that threatened to remove the massive lobbying power of Tom Donohue’s corrupt officials. That 2014 reference point has two parts. I strongly urge anyone who would defend the U.S. CoC approach to read both.

The overwhelming majority of economic punditry and opinion come from salespeople on the purchased payroll, direct and indirect, of the chamber. It is one of the most, check that, it is the most corrupt and abusive enterprise in the history of our nation. They are pulling out a very familiar playbook.

(Reuters) – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Monday denounced President Donald Trump’s handling of a global trade dispute, issuing a report that argued the tariffs imposed by Washington and retaliation by its partners would boomerang badly on the American economy.

The Chamber, the nation’s largest business lobby group and a traditional ally of Trump’s Republican Party, argued the White House is risking a global trade war with the push to protect U.S. industry and workers with tariffs.

The group’s analysis of the potential hit each U.S. state may take from retaliation by U.S. trading partners painted a gloomy picture that could increase pressure on the White House from Republicans ahead of congressional elections in November.

[…] The Chamber is expected to spend millions of dollars ahead of the November elections to help candidates who back free trade, immigration and lower taxes. It has already backed candidates who share those goals in Republican primaries. (read more)

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce consists of a massive multinational DC lobbying group that four consecutive administrations’ have allowed to write the actual language in U.S. trade deals and trade negotiations. Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Obama, Obama all gave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce the keys to the U.S. economy, and walked away. The U.S. middle-class was nearly destroyed in the process.

CTH has stood alone, for years, against the insufferable horde of CoC political mouthpieces and their media conscripts. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is at the corrupt center of almost every scheme that fund the Deep Swamp to the detriment of our nation. They are the most vile and insidious UniParty group of lobbyists in Washington DC.

Until Donald Trump came along, they held virtually unlimited power over the U.S. economy. The Chamber is a cancer; and any politician who associates with that abhorrent group should be excised from existence with extreme prejudice.

With a father a senator, GHW Bush landed the CIA job.

My opinion is that he was the one who corrupted the CIA. He used it ever after, and the Reagan victory overcoming Bush was akin to Trump defeating 17 republicans for the nomination. The establishment was stacked against Reagan, and he prevailed anyway.

The deep state goes back at least that far in my opinion.

Eisenhower suggested he saw its rise in his day with his words about the “military/industrial complex”.

It was corrupted long before HW came along and laid his crap down. The Dulles boys were a disaster for this country/ Truman knew it and Kennedy knew it. Kennedy declared he was going to shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces and then fired Allen Dulles. And then he was assassinated. And Allen Dulles wound up on the Warren Commission. Kennedy should have shattered before speaking.

I agree, the nascent Deep State was put on steroids by GHW Bush.

I used to work for the Chamber many years ago. IIRC, they wanted a return to constitutional government to protect business interests of all kinds. Now it’s all big business.
