Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress to get to work helping the ued find jobs. But there's something that Bernanke and the rest of the power players in Washington just don't get. I'll tell you what that is in my Daily Take.

3. Giving the gold away

We only have so much and our wealth is being handed over to foreign countries. To make matters more outrageous, the biggest country would be China, a communist country. So when all these pro business right wingers go on about how soldiers fought and died for our freedom, I want these people to know that they are undoing everything that these brave men and women have done. And it's all sone in the name of greed.

4. this issue unites the left and the right

most of the republicans i talk to (friends and family members) are anti free trade as are most democrats (friends and family) i talk to yet both parties support free trade.

6. If you notice, this is one issue

they REFUSE to poll the American people on. I bet it is over 80% against free trade deals. Yet the President brags about them and talks these agreements up against our wishes.

The corporations are working overtime to divide the American people while politicians are united against us. This is becoming more clear every day.

Why can't we convince the President, Thom?

I have written the President asking him to abandon his quest for new free trade deals.

I have told the President that a huge majority of Americans are against the free trade deals but he ignores me.

I told the President that public opposition to free trade deals is especially high in crucial rust belt states.

The President will not listen.

The President only seems to listen to Jeffrey Immelt -champion job outsourcer! WTF, Mr. President!?
