7. This is so disappointing . . .

This president openly siding with the repugs against his party.

What the f_ck is going on?

He seems to be risking his whole legacy over this.

I don't get it. The country can do without this. We need to use some of the tariff policies that other countries use to keep their economies strong. We let foreign goods come in without duties anywhere near what other countries charge and thereby undercut our own manufacturers, or whatever is left of them and their jobs here.

We let the job and factory exporting get out of hand as goods formerly made here are now imported in and the companies that used to make them here don't want tariffs on the stuff they're bringing back in. That way they make even more obscene profits from paying foreign workers chump change compared to what they used to pay American workers.

Even with shipping costs back here they still make out like bandits — the companies were profitable before paying Americans living wages but the greed I guess of paying foreign workers less than a dollar a day got too hard to resist.

There is no future in that for the country. Sooner of later a turning point is reached where there aren't enough remaining workers with jobs who can afford anything but the cheapest imported goods.
