Creating jobs by eliminating jobs?

[WIBamian]

Oh, the irony, from these Transnational Progressivists!

And we still have pro-ObamaTrade Cruzbots shilling for him and the destruction of America here on the Free Republic.

Un-friggin-believable!

If it creates an even larger idle class when manufacturing jobs are shipped overseas, it will add to the domestic problems we have. Everything in DC about trade should be on "time out" until some of those already existing trade deals are fixed or repealed.

The paradox in this bill in itself should've been enough for everyone to vote against it.

Great piece from C. Mitchell Shaw.

It has been said that in America we have the stupid party and the evil party. Sometimes they get together and do something both stupid and evil. This, we call bipartisanship.

Obama Trade = the real Capitalist Pigs.

Why are none of the news folks asking the Congress-critter of the day:"Why do you support this (process/agreement etc) when 2/3's of your constituents are opposed to it"?>p>http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/10/poll-majority-of-americans-oppose-obamas-trade-agreement-hurts-american-workers/

In what is left of the industrial cities, the number of surely smaller.

According to the Congressional Research Service 3.5 million MANUFACTURING jobs were lost in the US as a result of NAFTA alone.

Why is this data never cited?

Does ANYONE, on this forum or anywhere believe the US benefited to an extent that mitigates the loss of 3.5 million manufacturing jobs?

If so, make you case.

Displaced American workers proves this Obamatrade deal is not in
America’s interest.

More welfare for American workers is not a good deal.
It is a bad idea.

TAA was an attempt to pacify big labor that failed. That’s all.

everyone goes on ObamaWelfare ?

[Georgia Girl 2]

You have to lose jobs before you can get jobs. LOL! They think we are all as stupid as dogs.

Brilliant article. Thanks for posting.

What I recall from the wave of eliminating manufacturing jobs was that those displaced workers would be retrained in high-tech jobs, like IT workers.

Now they’re increasing the number of H1-B visas, to help eliminate the jobs of those high tech workers. I wonder what new careers the IT workers at Disney will be re-trained to do... Maybe to wear the Mickey & Minnie costumes in the Disney parks for minimum wage...

Proponents of these agreements know they’re lying about job creation. Earlier agreements back to NAFTA, and probably before, have contained worker retraining programs and displacement programs.
