Interesting…post & thread. Thanks.
Good point. If it’s not supposed to cost jobs, why do they need help.
I have mixed feelings on the vote though. If killing the assistance, kills the fast track bill then great. But if they do pass another free trade bill people are going to suffer because it will cost jobs and they will need help.
The best help we can give them is not to undermine their jobs in the first place. Followed by bringing jobs back so they don’t have to support so many unemployed.
You’re not seeing the trees for the forest.
It’s straightforward politics.
Obama got the Dems all he could and now Pelosi will get them more.
As to the trends you are on the money
What would have to be done to really make a difference is to undo the trade deals that cost US workers jobs.
What I DON'T have mixed feelings about is what we learned about our pols. When US citizens, across the board, got really mad, it was mostly dems who turned against Obama. The Republicans we thought were going to listen to us when they got majorities in DC sided with Obama. It's very disturbing.
Explanation, please.
