    "America has lost X manufacturing jobs since 1997"

    Yes. Because I don't want to pay $57 for a Goddamn screwdriver

    My understanding is that the research suggests about 10% of the jobs lost since then are due to things like outsourcing and moving manufacturing outside the nation while nearly everything else is improved efficiency.

    Wayyyy late, but Obama's goal is to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016. Hilary's goal (for 2017, maybe?) is 65,000.

    So we're going to get the money to fix our infrastructure by making these "non-bad" trade deals? While you cut taxes at the same time? This makes no sense.


    Ah, here comes the public school shaming.
