[video=youtube_share;dVpgBwKRdCU]http://youtu.be/dVpgBwKRdCU[/video] DLC Democrats are an abomination. This is one of the mains of Obama's sick legacy: For those who are uniformed or misinformed about the TPP, particularly the victims of Obama's charms, this is what this neoliberal president wants Congress to pass: That is corporate tyranny, borderline treasonous legislation supported by all of the Free Press. The corporate media-designated "political center," as represented by Obama & co: His entire presidency has been one of the most cynical frauds I can I think of. Accordingly, "Obama Wins Advertising Age's marketer of the year for 2008":
The establishment's backs are against the wall. Electoral fraud likely on the horizon. [video=youtube_share;A_EO1CKhmCc]http://youtu.be/A_EO1CKhmCc[/video]
Does anyone else thing the fact that this thread, so crucial to everything going on, being buried with no posts, on a "political forum", is a travesty? This is the number topic as to why the globalists were blindsided. Their services are no longer needed.
Indeed. And it came at a faster time than anyone could've predicted. In large part because of the economic decline that took place over the long run of the Obama Presidency. As well as the divisions created by foolish rhetoric. They extended their flank too far and now are caught flat defensively, in that their system cannot be argued for on it merits.
Good post. I agree with others here. This should be the hot topic thread, but you can here crickets. Goes to show most people have their head way up their own *****. Pathetic. And people wonder why this country is spiraling. Obama was absolutely no different than Bush. Anyone who bought the "Hope and Change" wasn't reading between the lines.
Its nice to see that the radical left and radical right can finally come together... in an ignorant crusade to (*)(*)(*)(*) the US economy. China is going to be thanking you all for burying the TPP. They are the ones that will gain.
How do you (*)(*)(*)(*) an economy that has already been (*)(*)(*)(*)ed by the scheme of economic globalization, which only benefits china and MNCs as it hollowed out our own economy? You should concentrate on employing our own, making what we consume for living wages, and let china do the same. Trade then assumes its rightful place and does not drive economic policy.
1) The TPP excludes China and is understood to be an attempt to promote US economic interests in the region over China's. 2) Economic theory that argues it is anyway possible to "make what we consume for living wages" without MASSIVE inefficiency has been debunked for over a century. Its not happening.
The TPP is another capitalist wet dream. Thankfully it sank to the bottom and the pipe dream was flushed before it started to stink up the house.
I don't know the degree in how politics could influence business through TPP, but I guess it's substantial mostly if we still have a healthy consumers and not so affordable but quality excellent products behind the politics.
The US economy would be at 20 trillion a year if we hadn't elected globalist traitors for 4 decades. The great robbery is over. But go ahead and keep telling people that those who hate nations are the best people to put in charge of your nation. Each post serves nothing more than to marginalize yourselves even more.
You have no evidence to support that claim. Besides, BRICS is the driver of globalization, not the US. You mean the US is no longer able to rape other countries of their Wealth and Capital? That's sad, really.
You're from Ohio? You know what the middle 30 states look like. You've got nerve. Had America been like any other previous nations post WW2, we would control from the Arctic to the Panama Canal. Maybe 100 states. The American worker pays for the global police force. The reason why all the socialist nations of Europe can barely tread water with their social programs, for example. If they have to build standing armies, the con is up. The dropping of tariffs is why Germany and Japan bounced back post war, at the expense of the American worker. The China boom walks hand-in-hand with the jobs going overseas. America lost TRILLIONS via NAFTA and China trade. And with our economy barely putting along, they were about to drop "taking care of Vietnam's growth" on us, too. I could go on and on. And what's the reward? A world that hates us. Do you realize Europe has never stopped pimping Africa? It might as well be 1850 with cell phones and AKs. Where's the outrage? I refuse for American workers to take the punishment for a bunch of American elite, who go out of their way to prove they have no allegiance to us every chance they get.
It's not my fault the people cannot elect good government at the State and local level. Well, you did have dozens of economic colonies in Central and South America, in the Middle East, and in the South Pacific. It's not my fault your entire Life-Style and Standard of Living is predicated on the US Dollar being the de facto international reserve currency and the de facto international currency of trade. I have no interest in what Euro-States do. Then stop meddling in foreign affairs. I don't care what Europe does. If you don't understand how the US got to be powerful and wealthy, then you won't understand why America will eventually be mediocre. Besides, I'll bet you shop Corporate every chance you get.
Well, you should. Till-the-last-drop was wrong about Europe. It is NOT socialist. He got that bit wrong because clearly he does not know the definition of the word. Which is this: "a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole." In Europe, only certain elements of the economy in the past were under state control. By and large, these entities have long since been privatized - and they are doing fine for having been done so. If that is the case, then what IS Europe? It is a Social Democracy, meaning this: But, of course, in the EU, the most important factor is that the people (including the ex-communist states) actually believe in the above definition. Because it us, uh, "holistic". Meaning it encompasses the whole of the political structure of country. Meaning also that, for instance, there is a National Health Service and a National Post-secondary Education System both of which are pretty damn inexpensive for the worth they deliver. Unfortunately, the US (which had a chance under Obama) lost it and has now taken a deviation in quite the opposite direction ...
Results dictate political definition, not the lofty theories to which gave them birth. The definition of Communism is authoritarian statehood, still with an elite class, all else equal in servitude. Complete central control. The definition of Socialism is protections for the top to guarantee their station, while taxing the middle classes to pay for handouts for the poorest, leaving the market in private hands so long as those hands are the top. Government as a store bought statist mafia. If a person buys a dog to protect the house and the dog bites their child, the definition of the dog is that of child biter, not house protector. I'm done with pseudo academics and their dedication to intellectual tripe that hasn't been relevant since it was spewed onto parchment.
