"Free trade" is not free. Our free trade policy encourages production to leave the country. We've lost millions of manufacturing jobs. More than 60,000 manufacturing plants were closed between 2000 and 2010 as production moved overseas. These costs are real.

Yeah you know what bugs me too.
When people come on here saying that people in St Lious and Baltimore need to go get jobs or that college kids and my generation cant create any wealth or buy houses or cars is because were lazy or lack drive.
Drives me crazy.

Exactly what the TPP is set to do with more job losses. All the while there's a cry for $15.00 an hour and or living wages due to the downturn in the economy, etc. Goodluck there if the bill passes companies will have to move factories overseas to compete or go out of business. Why pay Americans $15.00 an hour or even min wage in some places when you can pay workers in other countries overseas 75 cents?

I am under the impression many aren't ready for it especially at 18 with little to no experience in the real world. I think thats bs that the majority aren't meant for college where does that thought even come? Do you have any reasoning behind that statement?
Our high school education system is completely failing everyone and the kids who choose the right careers usually have a good family helping them along the way which is not the rule anymore but the exception.
