But this "Fast Track" garbage started with Richard M. Nixon.
He's the SOB that instituted wage and price controls which, combined with the Arab Oil Embargo, sent our nation into lenghty gas lines and the hyperinflation of the late '70s.
He's the SOB who "opened China" and initiated the demise of our nation's vital manufacturing infrastructure.
He's the SOB who signed OSHA and the EPA into existance.
He's the first GOP SOB I held my nose and voted for because I knew dang well I didn't want that socialist George McGovern.
I shoulda known better... I DID know better.
That stinkin' SOB had the audacity to assume the power to anounce (for political purposes) the 1969 NCAA Football national champion when the sportswriters were tied.
I knew right then and there that the SOB was nothing but a stinking, slimey crook. But I held my nose and voted for the SOB anyway.
Where's "Fast Track" gotten us in the last 30 years?
Oil imports have climbed from 30% to 65% of our usage.
We keep on getting involve in wars to assure a steady supply.
And the dang jobs keep going to China at a faster pace.
That dang "Fast Track" hasn't done us a bit of good. Not one dang bit.
What do oil imports have to do with it? There are NO trade treaties regarding imports.
Trade with foreign countries is your hottest button. The mere mention of it drives you bonkers for some reason.
Stop it with the red herrings, okay?
