This sound like a Party fundamentally opposed to Free Trade?

2012

Over the last four years, we have made historic progress toward the goal of doubling our exports by 2015. We have taken steps to open new markets to American products, while ensuring that other countries play by the same rules. President Obama signed into law new trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia, and Panama that will support tens of thousands of private-sector jobs, but not before he strengthened these agreements on behalf of American workers and businesses. We remain committed to finding more markets for American-made goods--including using the Trans-Pacific Partnership between the United States and eight countries in the Asia-Pacific, one of the most dynamic regions in the world--while ensuring that workers' rights and environmental standards are upheld, and fighting against unfair trade practices. We expanded and reformed assistance for trade-affected workers, and we demanded renewal of that help alongside new trade agreements.

I like the TPP's labor standard, it guaranteed a dollar a day. The absolutely poverty line around 1990, 27 years ago. Tough Protection!

2004

Exports sustain about 1 in 5 American factory jobs. Open markets spur innovation, speed the growth of new industries, and make our businesses more competitive. We will make it a priority to knock down barriers to free, fair and balanced trade so other nation’s markets are as open as our own. We will stand up for American workers & consumers by building on Pres. Clinton’s progress in including enforceable, internationally recognized labor & environmental standards in trade agreements.

No Thunder is right. If one Republican votes for a gun control bill, then the Republican party is the party of gun control. Makes perfect sense.

Obama failed on the most important issues that matter to us:

Economy

Terrorism

Foreign policy (e.g. North Korea)

But that's OK, because we have someone to clean up the mess on Jan 20th. :)

Zerohedge? That's what you're linking?

Non-myths.
Trump is now a 6 time draft dodger never having to physically face the enemy.
Although at great risk he will sit behind a desk and let other DIE, at his order.
Ironman is a Socialist,using all the Tax funded infrastructure?
At great sacrifice he will ride on highways of which the taxes he's paid would not pave a mile,
maybe a 100 feet of single lane pig trail.

Doesn't matter if anyone does the same thing. Using these Socialist programs makes YOU A SOCIALIST!
ALL REPUBLICANS ARE SOCIALISTS. They've done nothing on their own.
They think they built america,wrong, They built their GREAT SOCIALIST STATE of aMERICA

BOYCOTT ALL REPUBLICANS! We must destroy the true threat to DEMOCRACY.

Also, nice job disputing the FACTS!!!

I've shown some of them to be true many, many times. It's not hard-just requires one to be able to read.

I think Trump should get rid of the leftie fools, bring in soem banjo players, country singers and just have a wild old time!! Death threats to a blind man, they harass a gay man-MIlo- an d violently cancel his events-the deranged lefties on this site are proof enough of the mental affliction.

She would fit in perfectly in California, and make a $100,000 per year.

Yes sir John, great accomplishment in your home district:

Atlanta named one of America's top 'murder capitals'

John Lewis may be a civil rights hero, but as far as his skills go, he has none. He should be delivering pizzas for dominos.

This clearly shows the economic strategy in the west for the past 35 years has been a failure.
Yet no economist, pundit or elite wants to recognize that fact. Why?
All they have to propose is more of the same. No wonder we find ourselves with Trump now.

79454   Ceffer   2017 Jan 14, 10:29pm  

If you took the MillXYs fucking cell phones away from them until they got bored, they would probably work more and be 30 percent ahead.

79456   Ceffer   2017 Jan 14, 10:39pm  

Trumpligula should keep him on speed dial. You never know when a good criminal would come in handy.

Many economics statistics are not that negative: Americans private wealth, unemployment, home prices, retail sales....

But all these statistics mask how the status quo was maintained while the economy was hollowed: i.e. by loading more and more financial weight on the youngest generations:
- high home prices: good for boomers, bad for millennials
- student debts: injects money in the economy, but load the millennials like donkeys from the get-go
- exploding national debt
- unfounded pensions.
etc, etc...

Interesting article. Why won't they just retire?

https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/10/who-destroyed-the-economy-the-case-against-the-baby-boomers/263291/

"CRESCENT LAKE, Ore.--My father taught me how to throw a baseball and divide big numbers in my head and build a life where I'd be home in time to eat dinner with my kid most nights...

...On behalf of future generations, I am accusing him and all the other parasites his age of breaking the sacred bargain that every American generation will pass a better country on to its children than the one it inherited....

...Ultimately, members of my father's generation--generally defined as those born between 1946 and 1964--are reaping more than they sowed. They graduated smack into one of the strongest economic expansions in American history. They needed less education to snag a decent-salaried job than their children do, and a college education cost them a small fraction of what it did for their children or will for their grandkids. One income was sufficient to get a family ahead economically. Marginal federal income-tax rates have fallen steadily, with rare exception, since boomers entered the labor force; government retirement benefits have proliferated. At nearly every point in their lives, these Americans chose to slough the costs of those tax cuts and spending hikes onto future generations....

...They will leave the workforce far wealthier than their parents did, with even more government promises awaiting them...Those retirees and near-retirees bequeath a shambles to their offspring..".

They are retiring now at least.
Finally.
Generally the most useless baggage at any university, corporation or firm, they're finally taking that golden parachute to inconsequence.

The thing not mentioned here also is that the purchasing power of the dollar has dropped greatly since the days when boomers were in their 20s and early 30s
