Ted Rall for January 06, 2017

the chrysler auto jobs went to mitsubishi, the master car builders of japan in 1973, NIXON was president then.

Just like in Russia… Putin talks tough… and their industrial output is………….. kaput!

the trend started in the fifties when the plant owners decided union workers took too much of the profit from the owners. they moved plants from new england and mid atlantic states down to south, where the owners could hire non union workers for less. enter norma rae and the union organizer shown in that movie. then the owners wanted to build plants in mexico, india, indonesia, then viet nam, anywhere people are so hungry they would work for peanuts. NOW, chump talks big, but the story is that every product in his hotel comes from china,

As it has been going throughout human history, AUTOMATION continues to reduce the need for human labor regatdless of any efforts by politicians. Too many people on this planet

I am sure companies are scared to death of a gruff phone call. Boy, are we in trouble!!!!!

Nonsense. Ford decided not to build a plant because they wouldn’t make as much money as they had planned. It was to build small cars, and the demand for those has fallen. (Ford says so.) They also think they can make more money under Trump. Trump’s “gruff tweets” had not a damn thing to do with it.

How many billions in bribes – er, incentives – to Ford, is that phone call going to cost us U.S. taxpayers?

We have much cleaner air now that all those factories are shut down.

After the .001% and the military take the rest of the tax money there will be nothing left for infrastructure.

Are you saying Trump was an A-game player? He’s a Putin puppet.

nope! Never before in U.S. History-foreign ownership of U.S. Banks.

SIR reagan(a british knight) allowed ALL U.S. Banks to be sold to NON U.S. citizens, and “multinationals”. he called it: “de regulations”. British Queen called it: ’Service to the Crown". awarded Lord ronnie AND Lady nancy lifetime seats in their HOUSE of Lords(like lord rudy guilliani, sir Kissinger et all) BY the time the nafta bankers got to the area, it had already been sold, resold, hong kong bankers, and had a financial neutron bomb dropped on it. Detroit looks like Syria. “Free enterprise” looting continues, as does their “war” on ALL republics of industrial Capitalist governments .

the brits plan,? as usual, break up the republic into tiny eco pieces, as “eco zones” (no states either!) via old attacks of: “big is BAAD” sarin palin an teabagers, and eco “small is Beautifull” – bernie sauders, mantras while they do it.

THEY now demand a new found “freedom” to buy or sell anything or ANYONE. President Reagan OPENED his race dressed in a Confederate Uniform, from Oxford MS. if you recall. A royal ‘democracy’ (confederacy) for the YOUKNIGHTED? states.

One by one, their knighthoods show it- SIr Bloomberg, Sir Rudy Giuliani, SIr Bush1, (lady Barbara), Sir rubert Murdoch, and their x Congressmen and US senators, media “controllers” etc…we live in a british economic controlled colony. “free enterprise” looting will continue.

I guess manufacturing jobs are the only ones that count. Limited, Macy’s, Sears, K-Mart, Giant Eagle ALL closing stores, but not a DAMNED tweet about THAT!

Please include links to support your claims. For example Reagan in a Confederate uniform at his inauguration. It looked like a regular suit to me.

The secret is to put all of your money into tax free munis. If you can live on the dividends, you’re golden. If not, then, well. Hm.
