Many of the Cruzers at the time tried to explain this away by saying Ted could use TPP for his own good when he got elected. The Cruzers are clearly delusional with Teddy.
Simple. If they want to do a voluntary exchange of goods for money with us. Simple contract for such between their distributors and ours on the free and open market. Whatever restrictions they may have certainly does not prevent our markets and businesses from investigating profitable ventures with them.
Voting for the TPA makes it EASIER to pass the TPP.
ANYONE that makes it easier to pass the TPP IS for it.
The TPA just protects guys like Cruz, and gullible Cruz supporters are falling for it hook, line and sinker.
where’s the face palm not this s...t again graphic.
yeah, you dumb trumpsters, poorly educated...
Ted Cruz is AGAINST GLOBALIZATION!!!!!!
....well unless it’s for the job of POTUS then he thinks we should outsource it to a Canadian...
Chuck Norris endorsement
TPP
Say Trump voters Dumb went in Fact more highly educated than Cruz Supporters in about 80% of the States
lets not let the facts get in the way of the narrative
us Trump guys are all poorly educated racists
Ted’s people tell us so, and he speaks with the Face of God
I don’t think you were supposed to notice.
Just givin’ back. It can’t be allowed to a one way street.
Why on Earth would I be swayed by an all-out 24-7 liar like Trump when he has the total gall to call someone else a liar? It is nothing more than a tacticof deflection. Total BS from the king of kayfabe.
As I said, look at the results over the last 30 years.
You defend the equivalent of voting for cloture and against the bill, yet claim some moral high ground. You defend RINOism on steroids. You defend deceit and betrayal. You defend the system that exists to screw us all over.
You prove yourself to be every bit the ‘cultist of personality’ you claim the ‘trumpeters’ are by defending these actions.
I used to have some respect for you.
You don’t reason out cause and effect my FRiend. Neither do many here and elsewhere. Instead, many go with catch phrases and inflammatory rhetoric instead of true understanding of WHY the results have been what they have been.
Again, I’m a Trump supporter but no one including Trump has it all right and Trump is wrong on the trade issue.
It is false and misleading to say we lose $500 billion to China every year. Our imports from China in 2015 totaled close to $500 Billion. He and the “trade deficit” folks call this a $500 billion LOSS. But of course it is not a loss because we traded dollars for goods.
Did I lose $100 when I bought my groceries the other day? Of course not. I got groceries for money. I didn’t LOSE when I paid for the groceries I needed. And what Trump is proposing is instead of me paying, say, $100 for goods from China, I’ll be forced to pay more, say, $200 for the same thing because of these tariffs (taxes) and protectionist measures.
Taxing imports to try to force companies to stay here doesn’t solve the problem. Everybody loses and the consumer now has to pay higher prices because the government has put a 35% tax on incoming goods.
The tax (tariff) doesn’t hurt Mexico (or any importing country) - the prices (“A”) are already contracted for between Mexican and U.S. distributors. Mexico only pays A. The tariff/tax (“B”) forces the costs of these goods to go higher as they enter our country forcing higher prices at the local distributor for the American consumer who has to pay for A PLUS B. So it’s the American consumer that is really paying for the wall and exited businesses in the form of higher prices forced upon them by these tariffs. Our tariffs directly injure the American consumer and, thus, the American economy.
So not only do tariffs not address the root causes of business moving out of America, they make matters worse. Trump needs to address the ROOT CAUSE of losing our businesses: the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. The federal government has created an unfriendly business environment in the U.S. with boneheaded policies like
- minimum wage
- taxes
- regulations
- federal protection of unions
Again, the issue is the unfriendly American business environment and weak American competitiveness caused by the skyrocketing costs of doing business due to GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE like taxes, minimum wage, regulation, and unions. Address THAT and business will WANT to return/stay because of cost benefits.
Let the voluntary cooperation of the market economy free of government interference work. Don’t layer more government interference upon that which is the root cause to begin with.
