Well, 4 out of 4 wrong when you count that Manchin BS. LOL.
Uh. Bubba did not become President until a month after the NAFTA Treaty was signed by another president, a Repub, and it was merely sitting in Congress waiting for ratification. Bubba had nothing to do with it.
Uh. Note the date. Actually, Bubba was not keen on the idea and appeared not to be into admitting them. It was another president, a Repub, who "warmed" to the idea almost a year after Bubba left office and voted to admit them.
Uh. Aside from the fact that Glass-Steagall was repealed and replaced by an overwhelming Repub Majority in the House and an equally overwhelming VETO-PROOF Repub Majority in the Senate (roughly 90-95% votes in each house of Repub Majority-Controlled Congress) when Bubba was about as 'lame duck' as a President can be just 1 year before the end of his second term, repealing it had practically nothing to do with Repub GW Bush's Financial Crisis almost EIGHT YEARS after Bubba left office.

He wasnt keen on it? Tell us how he isn't into hideous beasts either, until he marries one, or gets impeached for fucking one.
Or pay nasty Paula Jones over 1 million just for asking for a BJ and that suit led to his impeachment.
He didn't want the CCP in the WTO? Until when? Someone from Goldman Sachs whispered in his ear how much of a kick back they would give him?
Are those the sam eClintons being for something before they vote against it.
Like this.

Our Lord and Savior made the Clintons say TPP was baddddd.
What happened to TPP?
Instead Our Lord and Savior was elected and there will NEVER be TPP.
Instead the CCP is slowly being destroyed with our boot on its throat, its fun to watch them die a slow painful death!!

Posts: 2579Typical union family 200 k WTF
"I don't know much about the UAW negotiations, so maybe you can correct any misconceptions that I may have.
Biden's efforts probably had "0" effect on the outcome of the negotiations. He just wants to take credit, because he views himself as a champion of the union man. This is despite the fact that he spent almost his entire career in politics and probably hasn't done an honest days work during his lifetime.
From Google, I'm seeing that GM's offer to the UAW in September would have cost GM $150,000 per worker per year in wages and benefits. Presumably the actual amount after further negotiations is higher. Add on a second wage earner's salary, and a typical union family is perhaps making over $200,000 per year. This makes GM union plants uncompetitive in export markets, not to say that they weren't already. And how's the working man who's not a member of the UAW supposed to afford a new car?
Biden's regulations and tax subsidies to car owners, if not changed, will make it where many can't afford a new vehicle. Electric cars cost more. Cars built with $150,000/ worker / year wages cost more. And the working man who's pulling down say $60,000 a year isn't going to get much benefit from the electric vehicle tax credits. Higher new car prices will drag up used car prices.
Now yes, maybe the ridiculously-named Inflation Reduction Act's subsidies to car companies like GM may help a little. But government is taking money out of the pocket of the taxpayer and adding to deficits to do that. Who are the beneficiaries of this pork? Well, relatively well off UAW workers and other auto company employees (like the CEO's) and auto company shareholders. Our trading partners will respond to the unfair subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act, which will adversely affect other American businesses. Maybe they put big tariffs on soybeans or Boeing aircraft for example. ".
Sounds like you resent them for not accepting slave wages ala the CCP pays? 100 k isn't much better.
I seriously doubt most UAW workers have their wives working by their sides, I'm sure there are a couple butch like lesbians working there.
So you would prefer an international race to the bottom? Hunger Games for all.
German Automakers pay Germans very well and they don't have any issues being competitive.
If a man is making 100 k in America these days hes lucky if he can afford a shitty apartment let along support a family and buy a nice house even the very few with both making 200 k combined.
How many have husband and wife working there? Probably less than 1%.
This piece of shit didn't "make" 4. 1 billion last year, he stole that money.
And belongs in prison!!
This piece of shit lived right down the street from me and some savages tried to carjack his security detail (off duty chgo cops) outside his penthouse several months back.
And that really scared the pussy, so he moved to Miami.

The impetus for a North American free trade zone began with U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who made the idea part of his 1980 presidential campaign. After the signing of the CanadaUnited States Free Trade Agreement in 1988, the administrations of U.S. president George H. W. Bush, Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, and Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney agreed to negotiate what became NAFTA. Each submitted the agreement for ratification in their respective capitals in December 1992, but NAFTA faced significant opposition in both the United States and Canada.

The Repeal of the Glass‐Steagall Act: Myth and Reality.
https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis...t-myth-reality
However, the argument that repealing Glass‐Steagall caused the financial crisis, and that bringing it back would prevent future crises, is not supported by the facts. Glass‐Steagall could not have prevented the bank failures of the 1920s and early 1930s had it been in force earlier, and wouldnt have averted the 2008 financial crisis had it stayed in force after 1999.

Posts: 1937Government needs more tax revenue
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and other Democratic senators, wrote their own letter to the IRS this week that advised the agency to rebuff industry complaints. The lawmakers chief concern was that the rules as proposed will take too long to go into force, which would disadvantage law-abiding Americans and cause the federal government to lose out on billions of dollars in tax revenue. Impose the rule as swiftly as possible, the senators suggested.

"Not a word of that was supposed to be funny. It doesn't take $877 billion a year to protect our borders. That's what the USA spends on the military annually. I don't believe the $877 billion includes much if any of the $75 billion the US has spent on Ukraine. And it certainly doesn't include the additional $60 billion for Ukraine that Congress will probably soon authorize. Or the $14.5 billion we'll be sending to Israel.
And no, the bastards shouldn't be spending our hard earned money prosecuting victimless crimes like the "high end brothel network" either.
OK, I really don't know. If the Republicans nominate anyone besides Trump and Biden's the Democratic nominee, I believe the Republican wins. And if Trump runs against any Democrat except Biden, I think the Democrat wins. Neither of the two old men are popular. ".
Isn't everyone around here AARP eligible? At least us American Patriots are.
I hate everything about Dirty Joe, except his age.
I have no issue with his age.
I rather have a smart old guy that's been around the block a few thousand times (and no I'm not implying that applies to Dirty Joe).

And the recent election results, in fact virtually every election result since 2016 (absent the Repub-rigged Electoral College appointment of Trump) has been a wake up call for why they need to pretend to be an Earthling, a Democratic Earthling at that, before the next presidential election.
But never forget they are only pretending in order to muddy the waters about the consistently stark contrast in actual results for Dems vs Repubs after Repubs get elected and begin their inevitable and determined March to the next Great Repub Depression, Great Repub Recession, Massive Repub Jobs Destruction and whatever other "Once in 100 Years" Disaster they can facilitate and produce.

But in all honesty, you'd think by now, Repubs would have figured out, Americans don't want, gov't in their bedrooms. Or telling parents what to do with their own children. These "culture wars", "bedroom" and "parental rights" issues are very much proving to be a non-starter, for Repubs.
Notice how Gov. Ron de Santis, has toned-down his "woke" rhetoric, to an imperceptible low. Or how Gov. Youngkin, lost both Houses in Virginia, because he decided to rule on women 'bodily autonomy', "...telling women a 15-week abortion ban was reasonable!". And his NEXT trick, was to sell it too the rest of country, in a bid to enter the Republican Primary for the US Presidency. This political maneuver (or manure), I think should be called the "Youngkin belly flop".
Also note, Repub candidate for Kentucky Governor, Daniel Cameron, was Moscow Mitch's, groomed man-boy for the governorship. Could Moscow Mitch, be losing his touch on Kentucky? Is this yet another sign, that "moderate" Repubs are a dying breed?
