This is going to get ugly for the Dems.
In YER wildest dreams.

4. help for workers losing their jobs
The TEA party in the House will block TPP .
The US enjoyed an artificially lush economic environment in the post-WW2 world 1945-75. Thereafter stronger competition was to be expected and has been a sign of improved well being elsewhere. RWR's policies made us more competitive and enabled growth to continue in the tougher environment.

No, FDR depression era policies created the strong post war period. Reagan's war on Americans through his anti union policies and deregulation of banking and manufacturing has dashed the hopes of average Americans. Restrictions and regulations aren't the enemy, Reagan was, he's gone, but his policies are still hurting Americans, that is the 99%ers of course.
Sometimes I fear I'm the only one here who reads history. WW2 not only generated massive development of US industry, it also destroyed or severely crippled most of our economic competitors. The U.S. economy stood as an unchallenged giant.
Free trade ? Love it.
Protectionism ? Its short sighted and a predictable left wing " solution "...Hate it.
Reading Progressive rants against TPP while they keep their mouths shut on Obama's decision to flood this Country with Millions of illegals ?
Love it.
Jack, your not the only one that reads history. There's lots of history books on this subject. You are probably the only one that reads history books with a pro conservative slant though, that's obvious.
Both parties are guilty of "flooding this country with illegals". And our borders have been porous only forever.
I am not among those who belittle FDR's accomplishment, but WW2 (growth here, destruction there) was the more important factor.
Immigrants and porous borders have been sources of strength.
I heard you the first time, and already responded to that.
:doh
"I dont think thats the root of the problem, I think its clear that the root of the problem is our trade policies especially when it comes to immigration. Its also to point out the part your quoted isnt even about immigration in the first place."
Its not the root cause of the problem.
Not in any meaningful way.
(And everything you said after that.)cpwill;1064615714 said:let me know when you have something other than a Just So argument.
Obviously whether one approves of a trade treaty or not has to depend on the final content. But on the whole I favour the promotion of greater free trade.
Not in any meaningful way.
(And everything you said after that.)
Let me know when you have something relevant to say.
Yea just ask these people:Free trade enriches all participants, and any job lost after NAFTA was enacted likely was doomed anyway.
