Voters Blame Trade Agreements for Job Losses

[Enthusiast]

14. It couldn't be more obvious. Like Chained CPI, trade agreements are electoral suicide.

Makes one a tad curious.

I lost two factory jobs due to permanent plant closings. Both were profitable operations. This was devastating to me and my family. Both plants had been in operation for more than 60 years at the time. Both factories changed over to munitions production during World War Two. Closing these factories was also very damaging to the local economy. The jobs have never been replaced.

These trade agreements have done immeasurable harm to the American worker. I do not care what the apologists say. Just look at the trade deficit.

Citizens of the Asian nations involved with the TPP have no purchasing power because they are living on near starvation wages. They cannot afford our products. But trade advocates do not care.

Advocates of these agreements have their highly paid sockpuppets to defend the indefensible. We will hear from them shortly.
