She shouldn't have let herself be outmaneuvered like that... DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #10

I think Medicare funding bit is about to be removed. It was drop in bucket, didn't start until 2024 Hoyt Jun 2015 #13

I read in another thread TAA is still alive./NT DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #16

Why do we need job assistance? LondonReign2 Jun 2015 #17

Exactly! kentuck Jun 2015 #18

Yes it is, but we need it because you guys think there are people out there with jobs that can Hoyt Jun 2015 #20

Then why do you lament not passing TAA? jeff47 Jun 2015 #22

Seems obvious. Those in few remaining low paying, easily moved jobs, are gonna need retraining. Hoyt Jun 2015 #24

Not according to your claims about the TPP. jeff47 Jun 2015 #28

The few folks affected have to have the skills, and there would be a time lag Hoyt Jun 2015 #30

Those few affected would get hired to fill positions left by those with the skills. jeff47 Jun 2015 #32

Ahhh, so TAA has NOTHING TO DO with TPP, eh? LondonReign2 Jun 2015 #23

The internet devastated print... Look at Time and Newsweek... DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #41

LOL! Good catch, now look at all the non answers! Rex Jun 2015 #33

It has to get through the Senate again and the President has to sign it. neverforget Jun 2015 #14

If one believes Obama, he said he won't sign bill without TAA bigwillq Jun 2015 #15

He'll sign it, with or without, in my opinion. closeupready Jun 2015 #36
