Why Would Obama Push A Trade Deal That Would Cut Pay Of 90% Of Workers?

18. More like 1 forward and two back.

The 3rd Way NeoLiberals ALWAYS include some crumbs for the Middle/Working Class.
That way, they can point these crumbs and pat each other on the back in front of the TV Cameras.

Eg:
1) The 2 year Extension of the Bush Tax Cuts included a 6 month extension for some whose Unemployment benefits were going to expire.
If you said, "Wait a minute"
you got attacked for hating the unemployed.

2) The Health Care Reform contained some good stuff for the Middle/Working Class/ and The Poor,
but it cost a MANDATE to purchase products from a For Profit Industry,
and a multi-BILLION Dollar yearly subsidy for the most worthless For Profit Industry ever established.
If you question the morality of subsidizing the Health Insurance Industry,
you get attacked for hating those with Pre-existing Conditions.



THAT is what the 3rd Way really means.
At least the 3rd Way NeoLiberals WILL include a few scraps for the 99% while giving the keys to the Public Treasury to the 1%,
which IS better than what the Republicans are offering.

What was WRONG with the Old Way Democrats?
You remember them...
FDR & the New Deal,
HST and Fair Deal,
LBJ and the Great Society.
Those Democrats built the largest, wealthiest, and most upwardly mobile Working/Middle Class (99%)
that the World had ever seen.

Why do we need "New Democrats" and "3rd Way Democrats"???
As far as I'm concerned, they are just retread Moderate Republicans,
and I FOUGHT Moderate Republicans all through the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Why should I vote for them NOW?
