I completely agree, our companies have sold out our country.

Trump is the only one, saying that, and THAT (in my opinion) is why he is catching so much flack.

Every person, in both parties, is enabling this massive sell-out of America.

Everyone.

“B-b-b-but we need these trade deals! Trade deals make every country better!”

- the Elites

(... we can all see how Mexico and China are benefitting with record employment and busy industry, but what about Canada and the US where workers are losing their jobs? How the hell are we benefitting from this one-sided crap??)

We need to start setting up Soylent Green™ factories. Why haven’t we done that yet?

I Wonder if the oppressive union and it’s demand for high wages had anything to do with it.

In the 60s, it was;

FREE LOVE & NICKEL BEER

Free love got us the welfare state and syphilis
Never did get that nickel beer.

In the 90s it was;

FREE TRADE AND NICKEL BEER

Free trade got us a larger welfare state and cheaply made products.
We are still waiting for the nickel beer.

It’s working great for the top 1%. And that is all that matters.

Medical furniture is an expanding buisness due to expanding Medicaid and other government healthcare spending.

So what do FReepers think if a law were passed that all government spending on healthcare must be for both services, products and servicers made in the USA?

That is rank protectionism. Drugs would have to be from the USA. Wheel chairs, crutches and medical equipment from the USA. Hospital gowns and linen from the USA.

And also employees...All healthcare employees would have to be from the USA... for patients covered by government money.

Let’s discuss it.

Maybe that is why independents are revolting.

He probably got the blue collar / rust belt vote as the ONLY candidate who showed up at the Carrier plant after the company said we’re moving to Mexico, I think in March.

The Dems are doing their level best to make sure no jobs are created in WI - they managed to kill the Walker/Republican bill for development of the iron mine up north and only relented length of environmental studies ... on a worm ... DJT & all Federal politicians have no effect on this sort of shenanigans.
