[quote:. 41326520:MV8yMjU2NzAwXzM4MzQ2MDAyX0MwQjE1MzRC] [quote:Lur Tor:MV8yMjU2NzAwXzM4MzQ1NTgwX0YyMThENTZB] What is Obama thinking? Well that's an easy question to answer. You see Obama really seems to have it in for you Americans, why I don't know. What I do know is one of the best ways to hurt a nation is to destroy its economy. And thus he is destroying America's manufacturing capabilities. In a few years America may no longer be a superpower, given its economy is just hanging on by a thread. And without a good economy the military budget will have to be slashed along with the many social programs currently running.

Original Message
he wants it done by October
"And yet another leak revealed that the deal would include even more expansive incentives to relocate domestic manufacturing offshore than were included in Nafta — a deal that drained millions of manufacturing jobs from the American economy.
The agreement would also be a boon for Wall Street and its campaign to water down regulations put in place after the 2008 financial crisis. Among other things, it would practically forbid bans on risky financial products, including the toxic derivatives that helped cause the crisis in the first place."
NYT:
The United States has lost more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001.
-Back in the year 2000, there were more than 17 million Americans working in manufacturing. Now there are less than 12 million.
-There are less Americans working in manufacturing today than there was in 1950 even though the population of the country has more than doubled since then.
So naturally obama wants to make it worse!
