In reply to the discussion: Why do we keep blaming other countries for "stealing" our jobs... when it was greedy American billionaires who sold them [View all]Silent Type
(10,490 posts)30. Exactly. And one of our Senators flat ass lied that the agreement was going to be hidden from public for 5 years,

Doubt Ill ever get over that, not to mention mention what 8 years of trump will do to country.
Hope we dont similarly screw ourselves in midterms.
