Education is the first step.
There are two sides to opposing this bill.
The first one (and the one that REAL conservatives will oppose it on) is the secrecy of the deal. Cruz addresses this point and opposes the secrecy.
But those of you siding with the Union Thugs opposing this because of “free trade” need to go back to Economics class. Reagan was for Free Trade and Free Trade creates jobs and opportunities for American workers and companies abroad. Some want to blame “free trade” as if the burdensome Corporations Taxes and other Regulations that drive companies out of the US doesn’t have any roll. Take Free Trade and add a President willing to cut taxes and burdensome regulations and you have Reagan of the 80’s.
It’s no surprise Walker supports TPA either (I haven’t heard a stance from him on TPP) given his history of taking on the Union Thugs in WI since they are vehemently opposed to it.
Add an amendment to eliminate the secrecy in TPP (Oh wait, Cruz tried to do that and got shot down). Well, let the House add it and force a vote from Senate on it.
Watching Cruz answer this, I see nothing that leads me to believe he is a traitor or someone I couldn’t trust. I see a logical and reasoned answer that was without spin to the questions ask.
You got a problem with Cruz? Ask him your loaded questions at the next event he’s at. I’m sure he’ll answer you because he doesn’t back down, provided you’re respectful. Now try doing that with Clinton or one of the other candidates, you’ll be hauled out in cuffs, while Ted will buy you a beer.
Actually Reagan forced Japan to devalue their currency and put steep tariffs on Japanese car imports. That’s why there are so many Japanese plants in the US now, as a way around those tariffs.
So H1b VISAS by the hundreds of thousands taking the best paying Hi-tech jobs is good for America
So NAFTA was good for America.
We put 10 men and 2 jeeps on the moon WITHOUT NAFTA or H1B VISAS.
Since NAFTA AND H1Bs.....
what have we done that compares to that?
NOTHIN.
