funny how slick Willy stated his worst regret (When he visited OKC in April 2015 for the 20th Anniversary of the Murrah Bombing) was signing NAFTA...CYA, Mr.Clinton, CYA (Sadly noone here bought it).

"I did not have sexual relations with that trade agreement!"

oh well, at least he 'feels your pain'?

One thing I do know... you don't get to balance when you feed the extremes. I've learned to tune out all hysterical propaganda. I can see Trump can't even run a campaign well besides all the wreckage he's left as a supposed business genius (born on third base and thinks he hit a triple yet again?), like I said before, maybe they can draft someone decent if they can find a pretext for dumping all these clowns and fanatics... kind of like when Stanley Baldwin saved the Empire by forcing Edward VIII to abdicate (the fascist admiration society toff).

Oh, anyway, happy 240th (and many more)!

Well, yes, they are obviously 'left'. However I'd stop short of comparing them as a left version of Alex Jones.
You see, they are clearly normal, rational and considered people who base their judgements on facts, statistics and reasoned thought.
They are not loud, oddball, baseless freaks that believe world governments to be infiltrated by aliens and such like.

I agree with you on that. They act normal then Alex.He reminds me of the Saturday Night Live Newscast cast at times.

Throwing all trade agreements in doubt (isolationism).

A future built on polluting factory jobs plus coal mining and burning.

Solve debt problems by citing inability to pay full amount or rate and then negotiate (and/or print more m0ney as needed).

Now what could possibly go wrong for the U.S. economy with these plans?

I was reading that one reason Clinton is skiddish about Warren as VP is her views on trade. Warren is as radical as Trump being against free trade. She claims free trade agreements only benefit corporations. However she forgets to realize the evil corporations employ people and pay people to make their products. Take your pick: A trade agreement that penalizes corporations so much they only employ 5000 workers or a trade agreement that promotes and enables corporations to employ 50000 workers.
If we did what Warren and Trump want to do, we would decline and American products would face such stiff penalties abroad. In addition, Americans would be paying so much more for the trip to Walmart.

You liberal democrats just don't get it.
Research the vote in Congress. The ONLY members who oppose NAFTA were extreme liberals and union leaders. Every conservative, moderate, and even some centralist democrats voted in favor.
Its hysterical to see Trump as radical as Elizabeth Warren on trade. Something that neither know anything about.

One good thing with DT.It will clean up the shelves of junk at Walmart and the dollar stores.
