Yes, the dot com bubble did burst, but the tech revolution that powered it is still with us today and has transformed our economy into the powerhouse it is. Bubba had nothing to do with it. Reagan's tax cuts, military spending and massive deregulation in the 80's created the technology revolution of the 90's. He also created NAFTA. Best president since Lincoln!
And in the debate, Trump warned us about a “big fat ugly bubble” in relation to the stock market.
Increased freedom is knocking down America? Good luck selling that to Americans that cherish their personal liberty. You're not one of those big government conservatives now, are you?

In the states that matter, NAFTA has been a disaster.... PA, OH, WI, MI, IA, MN and IL.... People who used to have good jobs with benefits now drive school buses making under 20k a year trying to support their family, or are stockers at Wal Mart for the same...
You can see the devastation across this region that free trade has wrought... Sure the suits in DC and NY have gotten fatter paychecks, but don’t think for one minute that NAFTA and WTO have been beneficial to the average American, particularly if they live and work in areas that were driven by Manufacturing.
NAFTA was a SHAFTA...
Globalist are the new Communists.
Go ahead and vote for TPP Hillary you Globalist < expletive deleted >
George Washington was a protectionist so was he anti freedom too? LOL.
Free Traders are what Karl Marx described as useful idiots. FR has a lot of them.
We had “govt. managed trade” from 1789 to 1913. Worked out pretty good with no income tax then.
It’s the business of every American what comes into the USA via ship, plane or mule. Whether living or cargo. We need to know what it is and control it.
President Trump can cancel NAFTA, slash corporate taxes, and reduce regulations and corporations like Carrier will still send jobs to lower cost countries. Nor will it do anything to prevent IT jobs and accounting jobs and medical administration jobs from going overseas either. Companies will send work to the lowest cost suppliers.

I have been saying for months that the Fed will quit supporting the phony Zero Economy at the end. I would expect just what Trump is predicting.
At least with a tariff I don't have to tell the govt intimate details of my financial life. Go ahead defend the status quo and by default defend the progressive income tax. I expect nothing less from an anti American globalist.
no sheet sherlock
it is only the fans that think they are rooting for something... go team go ... yea rah

hey if you enjoy it ... fine
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS A BUSINESS FOCUSED ON THE BOTTOM LINE...

modern day gladiators willing to take millions for their physical and mental well being ....
SHERMAN IS A BRIGHT GUY ..... HE JUST CAUGHT ON.... ???

At least with a tariff I don't have to tell the govt ...
sorry bout dat...
meant to be posted to the previous article
NAFTA ONLY BENEFITS BUSINESS / BUSINESS OWNERS
labor takes the shaft
Even the most dimwitted knows we can’t continue to let the gummint continue to overspend a TRILLION a year ( which, honestly, is what continuing resolutions are all about) AND have the Fed pump $85 Billion a month in ( which is going on OUR tab, by the way). The dullest knife in the drawer knows it has to end. What better way to close it down than to do it concurrently with the election so the Brown Shirt Media can blame it on Trump?
Having so called "Conservative" cheerleaders providing political cover is priceless.
