ALERT: DFA Warning New TPP Provision Would Cut Medicare $700 Million to Help Pay for Trade Aid

12. Points straight to third way Democrat corruption and why they are killing the party.

Democrats are admitting with the worker assistance package that jobs will be lost and communities destroyed by passing fast track and inevitably TPP after that.

Third way politicians served their megadonors lavishly and now they are going to serve their constituents by "fixing" the damage they've deliberately caused. They can wash their hands and say "there now everybody is happy!"

We tried the same thing with NAFTA by spending lots of money to assist nearly a million officially categorized displaced workers and re-train them for non-existent jobs. Most just settled for the lower paid unskilled jobs that took the place of their offshored jobs.

Same thing again when the chained CPI was proposed. The third way answer was to provide a package of additional assistance to the neediest seniors so the cuts were all justified. S'all good right? You break it and then pay for some glue to put the pieces back together.

The thinking is just wrong on the face of it. If your trade deal is going to damage American workers and you know it VOTE AGAINST THE DEAL in the first place.

Seems hard to believe Democrats would willingly compound an already bad deal by cutting a proven program for the public benefit but not much surprises me these days.
