Senate demoncrats block BO's trade deal.

So this post is pro-Obama, though a "demoncrat" too? - MT Against Outsourcing

[ In Reply To ..]
I like the vote outcome, both as an MT and a left-leaning independent.

As an MT, I'm glad it was blocked because most actual MTs wouldn't be pro-outsourcing that could come with a Free Trade Agreement that both has the potential to create more tax breaks to companies that outsource and lacks the ability to enforce safety and health regulations on products.

I also like the vote outcome because it proves the Democrats don't raise their arms in "Heil" to their media and party leaders like others do, they are capable of thinking outside the the party box.

Hillary's comment on the TPP - If by "mum" you mean Clinton commented

"Any trade deal has to produce jobs and raise wages and increase prosperity and protect our security,” Clinton said during a tour of a community college that focuses on technical skills. “We have to do our part in making sure we have the capabilities and the skills to be competitive."

Senate Democrats Block Military Funding For TheNov 06, 2015
preventing appropriations from going forward. The Democrats did this for one simple reason: they want leverage to push their liberal priorities in all the other spending bills. In short, they are using military funding as a hostage. Just last week, the Senate passed the Bipartisan Budget Act, a budget deal that raised the legal spending caps for both defense and non-defense discretionary spending. This deal, which was opposed by many Republicans, gave President Obama and Democrats in Cong ...

Butcher BlockOct 01, 2013

Bob Casey (Pa.), Joe Donnelly (Ind.) and Joe Manchin (W.Va.), who all oppose abortion rights, joined Republicans in voting to advance the bill. Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Mark Kirk (Ill.), who support abortion rights, voted against it. The vote comes amid a roiling debate over Pl ...

Democrats Won't Be Able To Block Trump Appointments Due To RulesNov 19, 2016
Senate Democrats are not going to be able to block Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions bid to become attorney general. And they can’t do much to stop Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo from assuming the helm of the CIA. And they have only themselves to thank for it. That’s because exactly three years ago, the Democratic Senate majority — led by Harry Reid (Nev.) — rammed through controversial rules fundamentally changing the way the Senate does business. They unleashed in November 2013 what’s call ...

Unbalanced Trade With India?Nov 06, 2010
Is India going to be the 'new China'? It sounds like it with all the CEOs wanting to do business there with low labor costs. I'm thinking outsoursing MT work was just the beginning and we can yell all we want about it but our voices will be ignored. Although the headline states 'both sides hope to expand ties', with the low pay in India, how will they ever be able to afford American goods? I think this will turn out to be another one-sided deal, with the U.S. losing agai ...

EU And US Free Trade TalksFeb 13, 2013
It will be interesting to see how this affects the US economy--here's a little of what we are looking at:   One aim of the free-trade agreement would be to eliminate or reduce tariffs - taxes that apply to imported goods. For both the EU and US average tariffs are already low, below 3% on one measure. But further reductions could nonetheless stimulate additional trade and there are some areas where tariffs are much higher, notably food. Beyond that, the negotiations would try to re ...

Tolerance, Liberal Style. Block Access Of Others To A Rally YouMar 19, 2016
The ability of liberals to tolerate the mental strain of cognitive dissonance (holding 2 opposing ideas in your head at once) never ceases to amaze me.  *They can oppose the death penalty while approving abortions.  *They can support unchecked illegal immigration while calling for increases in the minimum wage.  * They like the 1st amendment - except when they don't like the speech it protects. * They hate capitalism and capitalists - except when they start looking around ...

Tax Cut Measures Fail In The SenateDec 04, 2010
They voted on the Baucus amendment and the Schumer amendment and both failed to pass.  I find some of the comments very interesting from both sides.

BTW, Baucus'  proposal was to let tax rates rise on Jan. 1 on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples fell on a vote of ...

HCR Now Faces Senate ChallengeMar 22, 2010
