Sell Out Averted

The trade deal is at least down for the moment, perhaps for good. Bueno! Generally I favor free trade policies but this thing was a monstrosity favored by crony capitalists and Big Business and both are decidedly anti-American in the sense that they don't give fig about anybody or anything other than themselves. 

I was talking to someone the other day who is considerably left of me politically and much to the surprise of both of us we agreed on this issue. Michelle Malkin puts it well:

"The Obama administration, House GOP leader John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have sold out our immigration priorities. Both parties have put cheap labor from illegal immigrants before American workers. Both parties support massive increases in foreign temporary worker programs that favor cheap tech workers from India and China over highly educated, highly skilled American workers who are forced to train their replacements. Both parties back fraud-plagued green card giveaway programs for wealthy immigrant investors that amount to a crony "economic development" racket."

All of us, Right and Left can see this and it's refreshing to agree on something. 

We have allowed a Ruling Elite to become entrenched that is composed of members of both parties that are in it for the money and support their crony capitalist.Big Business friends slavishly to the exclusion of the American people. It's time to throw the bums out. We thought we did it in 2014 with the massive Republican electoral sweep. We were wrong. It's time they all go and we start over with new "inexperienced" faces and term limits. They can't do any worse than current leaders are doing and I suspect they will do a lot better.
