12. I couldn't say it better!

Job numbers are one thing. And as I've said before - some of these "American" companies are bringing a few jobs BACK from overseas. Loudly crowing about it as they do so. But it's NOT some sort of patriotic fervor that's inciting them to do so - it's the fact that the U.S. labor force has been numbed enough to take wages they would have LAUGHED AT 10 - 15 - 20 years ago.

I'm usually just a "replier" here on DU. But I have yet to see someone other'n me sounding off as to the overall strategy being perpetrated against the US and other "advanced nations". We're being leveraged into a world where EVERY NATION that wants jobs for it's citizens has to GET IN LINE with a WORLD wage scale. Hell - that's what the TPP is all about! This global aim has Bill Clinton and various collaborators (such as the POTUS) written all over it.

There's gonna be the "haves" and the rest of us. That's it. God help us - get Bernie Sanders into the Oval Office.
