Also, strong unions are known to be preventing it from being so bad in Europe and they likely have gotten carve outs for their specific areas.. carve outs from the most radical liberalisation. Thats why I am surprised to not hear it and carve outs being discussed. I am worrying if perhaps thats the reason the Clinton campaign has been so reluctant to discuss anything which might lead to a discussion of the three pending deals.
Please watch Sanya Reid Smith. She is quite good. Basicallly everything is changing. Europe went through this 20 years ago, now they have a common employment market. Wages fell a lot. Hillary may be agreeing to raise minimum wages laughing inside because she feels that the secret deals will nullify that and teach American workers an important lesson in capitalist economics. supply and demand and nothing else, determines wages. By increasing supply they hope to eventually increase demand, the argument is that high labor costs are holding businesses back - many US businesses could export more if they had access to really cheap labor. Also in health care and education, private education brands, and US health insurance companies could export more insurance and create thousands of jobs by preventing and mandating the elimination of public health care around the world. poor Americans could also gain access to low cost Third World insurance providers and get care in Third World healthcare markets, in many cases good quality care for very little, if their insurers paid for it and had a global connection to the providers. Similarly, prison services could be delivered at a far lower cost overseas in countries that specialize in imprisonment like Nauru.
Also, the argument goes, doctors and nurses from around the world would get valuable experience working here even if the pay was low and the hours long. Unlike Sanders who wants to change our system, Hillary's plan keeps our system the same and merely forces the workers in it to sacrifice their jobs for it. the thinking is that some of them lkely would find other jobs ,maybe helping train their replacements overseas.
