President Obama Weekly Address: Fighting for Trade Deals that Put American Workers First

[Rex]

22. Totally agree, the argument that wage increases hurts overall profit if crap and needs

to be discarded. When billionaires say raise their taxes, raise their fucking taxes! Why do you even care about cutting foodstamps and education, when we STILL waste 2 billion a day in Afghanistan?

Of course Obama would just agree with all that since those questions need to be addressed to Congress. All this garbage about the job creators...when we ask year after year, why none? Why make the POTUS do all the work?

Congress needs to get right in the head, the institution has stumbled a great ways.

I wonder if they even remember Afghanistan is ultimatly there job...

Too busy reading Green Eggs and Ham etc..

It feels overwhelming at times. I can see why the POTUS is staying completely unpredictable. However, I believe he wants a strong job market, even over a robust economy.

If he can hammer out a deal with the TPP, then we still need to understand the ramifications that China will be able to skirt around very stringent laws we will be putting on nations that are partners.

I have yet to see the huge amount of good NAFTA did for the American worker or workers down South of us.

Do we want to give the WTO a huge amount of power that is useless against China, the worlds largest economy?

Remember this is all Free Market talk...China LOVES the free market! It is very anti-democratic.
