GOP leaders turn on voters, will work to give president fast-track trade power

If anyone thinks the GOP leaders behind these so called “free trade” agreements have America’s best interests in mind, read the following article.

America's Trade Deficit- The Job Killer

1/15/2015

”The so called free traders (be they Democrat or Republican) are not really free traders. They are supporters of mercantile trade where countries like China and Japan get to manipulate their currencies and use VATs against us to increase their exports and reduce their imports from us. Even though there is a provision in the WTO agreement that prohibits currency manipulation we do nothing about it.

As in most economic issues there are winners and losers. The business group that is the biggest winner are the multi-national corporations. They have built plants in China and other foreign countries to sell products to the country and back to the U.S. They have the same advantages as our competitors to sell cheap products back to the U.S. as imports. They do not want the U.S. government or the WTO to interfere with their foreign partners (particularly China) and they spend huge amounts of lobbying money on Congress to maintain the status quo. The multi-nationals are profiting from our ongoing trade deficit even if the country is not.”

America is being sucked dry and international corporate giants are the winners in these “free trade” agreements which get passed after they grease the palms of our traitorous Washington Establishment.

Today’s corrupted politics is all about the Benjamins, and which political party's leadership can put their hand deeper into the productive working person’s pocket.

Actually, I like these agreements, as it makes it NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE for unions to hold this country hostage. Notice that there aren’t significant UAW strikes anymore...there certainly used to be, until just about the time when we started importing Japanese cars.

Anything that weakens unions is good in my book!

You are content to see wages and standard of living and lost self sufficiency in the USA come down to 3rd world status because you don’t like unions? Do you like illegal immigration too because they bust up construction unions too? I don’t mean to offend but I see those who want our economic status destroyed because they don’t like unions as cutting their nose off to spite their face. The exportation of our jobs and importation of cheap labor is primary factor in our massive debt.. This policy destroyed what was our tax base because we exchanged tax paying US industrial and construction jobs with low paying jobs that get tax credits and food stamps.

We’ve been purposely conditioned by the powers that be, with their strategy of multiculturalism, not to look at the USA as a “family” with common interests as the citizens do in countries like Israel and Japan. We tend to look at the USA as divided noncohesive factions while the globalists reap the benefits.

“You are content to see wages and standard of living and lost self sufficiency in the USA come down to 3rd world status because you don’t like unions?”

I do think it’s dangerous for security to outsource practically every critical technology - so yes, I would have preferred destroying the unions without having these trade agreements.

But yes, too, I do HATE unions that much. The more I learn about them (such as how they had to be bribed before they’d load our cargo ships during WW2), the more that I HATE them.
