It's not a question of blaming trade deals OR blaming automation.

33. I don't know how many times I can see another job lost

and that is not from manufacturing. Look at radio, small local stations in many, many areas and each one had a staff, morning markets and later music programming. That is not a manufacturing job, it is a lost job all over the country. I know of one country station that has basically been rented out to programing made buy the Farm Chemical company. I don't guess anyone is ever at the station except to change a light bulb.

Look at Democratic talk radio, fading fast.

How about newspapers? The trade area hub of about 250,000 has a news paper Sunday edition that is now big as the small.

Just through the years television has been gaining ground with local news.

Just make a game and look around at the the jobs we used to know that are gone. You can also list what is not being made today. What is obsolete.

Its not just a factory closing, its everywhere.

There is just too much money at the top and the taxes on them are waaaay tooo low.

We need to tax them at a very high rate and if they use that money to create jobs within our borders, they get to keep what they earn. A carrot and stick.
