This will be disastrous for the nation, millions will lose their insurance, costs will go up, Doctors will be forced to close their practices, there will be death panels that decide when you should die, hospitals across the country will declare bankruptcy and close, poor people and the elderly will not be able to find a Doctor ------------ Oh wait, that was about the Affordable Care Act six years ago !
Now on the right train of thought, the Trade bills working through Congress this week, with a final series of votes expected today, are garnering strong arguments on both sides. It is extremely difficult for the common man ( me ) to figure out the end result of these bills, ( which are secret by the way ). I do believe as I have stated many times that the term FREE TRADE is a terrible thing for the workers of the United States. The only way we can compete as a country is to establish with other countries a policy of FAIR TRADE !
Until we address the problems of product dumping ( see CHINA, steel and drywall ) , currency manipulation ( various countries ) , slave labor ( see Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia ) , low wages ( practically every country ), FREE TRADE IS NOT FREE !
My call is for FAIR TRADE,
