You people are about 40 years too late to realize what an evil organization the US Chamber of Commerce has been. Back when they were giving seminars on how to move your company offshore I was called bad names by republicans for thinking that was bad.
Well, the rest of us are catching up with you:
NOTHING SMALL-TOWN ABOUT U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: President Donald Trump has all but declared war on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (CoC), saying he’s a member of it but probably not for much longer. The CoC, Trump claims, “is more for the companies and the people that are members than they are for our country.”
Harsh judgement? Not at all, at least according to Sundance at The Last Refuge, who argues that “the CoC is the lead U.S. member of the multinational ‘Big Club’, and has driven policies directly against Main Street USA for three decades. Until now no modern U.S. president has ever been willing, or fearless enough, to take them on … ‘until now.’ And that’s just for openers. It gets better
here.
Our current middle-class (Main Street)
economic growth and the shifting supply chain
results, bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., completely refutes U.S. CoC Tom Donohue’s doomsayer-promised economic proclamations. If tariffs are so destructive, why was/is everyone ‘
except the U.S’ using them to protect their industry segments and economies?
The truth is, the financial class and professional multinational lobbyists don’t want people to realize the modern trade system was
designed to
reduce American wealth. It’s a feature not a flaw.
The collapse of U.S. manufacturing did not happen accidentally. The rust-belt was not created accidentally. NAFTA was not designed accidentally. The back-door to the U.S. market was not created accidentally. Middle-class jobs were not lost accidentally. Wages did not stagnate accidentally…. All of these results were brought about by specific design.
Who or what was in charge of the plan?
At the heart of trade agreements over the past 30 years you will find the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Yes, a Wall Street multinational corporate lobbying group actually wrote three decades of trade agreement language.
A team of business “
experts” from within the U.S. CoC wrote the terms and conditions of actual trade agreements for Reagan/Reagan, Bush, Clinton/Clinton, Bush/Bush and Obama/Obama. Add it up, that’s 30 years….. now look back to when the rust started, not coincidentally that’s 30 years ago.
All that stopped with Donald Trump.
Trillions of dollars of exfiltration stopped by Donald Trump.
Tens of trillions.
