May I Humbly Bring Up A Proposal To The Group ???

53. Here we go again.

I'll guarantee you that more American jobs have been lost to automation than to trade agreements since NAFTA was signed. They throw a bunch of numbers out there for jobs lost due to trade agreements; how many jobs were lost because of more efficient centralization of products? (i.e. Walmart warehouses) How many jobs were lost because of database efficiency? How many programmer jobs were lost after the programs were written?

I'm all for following these trade agreements to make sure that they contain language that protects American workers, but every time I see one of these posts; it looks more like an attack on the president than a call to action.

If we really want to protect American jobs at all costs; are you in favor of stopping plants from automating?

I'm sure there's more to these trade agreements than meets the eye (which is probably why Obama has changed his position on it) but before I believe we've lost all these jobs to NAFTA; I'd want to see how they came up with the numbers. As it is; it just looks like they're just throwing numbers out there for the purpose of Clinton and Obama bashing.
