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.

CoC is Wall Street’s mouthpiece.

The Chamber of Communism needs to die.

Seems like there is an opportunity for someone to start a MAGA business org that will ultimately replace the CoC.

Donohue should be arrested for treason and the U.S. Chamber of Amnesty shut down for good.

How to kill it? Cutting off the head is a problem since it’s actually a coalition of really rich people. All of them have the power to sway elections with their money.

What is a way to control their power to buy elections without violating the right of free speech?

Somehow, it seems to me that a lobbyist buying a politician or a political decision is corrupt and against the law. But, how to prove it.

Well Oh Well! No (excrement)!

These people are the Corporatist World Order crowd and no doubt most of their dollars will go to Republicans like Romney and others that (scratch my head) have been endorsed by President Trump.

God Bless President Donald J. Trump but I can’t support the Chamber of Commerce GOP candidates.

Without the senate he cannot appoint judges.

Without the house he cannot reshape the nation’s financial house.

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.

Oswald! Oswald! Oswald! </s>

Bush’s father was not a Senator CIA when Bush was running when he was appointed to run the CIA or anytime in the last 80 yrs.

Prescott Bush is the father of GHW Bush

Bush won election to the Senate in a 1952 special election, narrowly defeating Democratic nominee Abraham Ribicoff. In the Senate, Bush staunchly supported President Dwight D. Eisenhower and helped enact legislation to create the Interstate Highway System. Bush won re-election in 1956 but declined to seek re-election in 1962, retiring from the Senate the following year.

Right he had not been a Senator for at least a decade prior to HW’s appointment nor has he been that office since 55 yrs ago. I doubt that was a major factor in his appointment.

So, you don’t think having a senator as a dad made a difference?

That’s fine.

But I disagree.

There may have been some credit given him because of his dad but not that much. Although Ford was on the deepest of the Deep State’s biggest project - the Warren Commission.

I'm assuming your reply was cut and paste from some source....because how the hell does a Junior Senator "help" pass a bill that was finally passed in the Senate by a vote of 89 to 1. Didn't have enough juice to influence anyones votes. Doesn't look like there was a final struggle at all in either chamber, after the usual posturing and holding out for more pork.

Bush clan padding and lying about all members CVs, as usual.

the votes:

Introduced in the House as H.R. 10660 by George Fallon (D–MD) on April 19, 1956

Passed the House on April 27, 1956 (388–19)

Passed the Senate on May 29, 1956 (41–39)

Reported by the joint conference committee on June 22, 1956;

agreed to by the House on June 22, 1956 (adopted)

and by the Senate on June 22, 1956 (89–1)

Signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower on June 29, 1956

The Chamber of Commerce hasn’t got a competent horse trader amongst them, else they would know brinksmanship when they saw it.
