the mere fact you think someone can live off of the government again only further verifies your leftist stance.Get a job, assholedon't go away mad muskrat, just go away.I don't know that the TPP was such a bad deal overall. Although imo trade disputes should not be settled by some administrative board. It should be in an international law court.Hillary threw TPP under the bus too. But Trump's stock issue is resentment and people's feelings of being left behind economically.
The UK Brexit vote was similarly propelled. But without immigration and terrorism, the vote may have been different, and even if Putin swung only .5 of 1% .... it was a close vote.
The TPP was not a good deal, but someone that knows how to actually negotiate would have done so vice just walking away from it.
But yes, Trump did use the resentment and the ignorance of people to bring home the victory.
The year before the election we as a country had a trade surplus of manufactured goods yet we have been sold a bill of goods that all manufacturing has left the building!
Trade and public spending deficits are distinct (I know you know that). But TPP would have opened markets for us to sell stuff. Obamacare, as heavyhanded at it was in setting forth what had to be in healthcoverage, was handing out subsides to 400% above poverty. The people in the rust belt who think they should get union jobs making maytag washers at 50-75% over market prices were the ones buying the walmart shit.
I am not sure it is possible for someone as stupid at jc to actually hold a job. Chances are he has lived his life off of government handouts.
