This fast track trade bill the repubs and Obama
Posted: May 20, 2015
are trying to get passed. I wonder if the Dems that are holding out to protect labor are thinking about MTs at all? Because we sit in the US and it is already happening, they might not consider us at risk, but perhaps there might be some loose language in it that could be intepreted in our favor and help us.
I don't think it would do much good to call a repubican representative, but a democrat even if it isn't your state, might be interested in adding us and our needs to their list.
It's too bad we aren't organized, and the closest thing in this industry that is just preys off of us. This would have been the perfect opportunity to get our voices/story at least heard so we show up on anybody's radar, which I doubt we do, now. It might be something as simple as changing the wording to include telecommuting, document preparation, digital, transcription, PHI, maybe a wide generalization of what would constitute damaged by offshore outsourcing or I don't know what else, which would keep a foot in the door for us before it closes and we are the only labor left out. I'm secretly pulling for huge import tariffs but I don't think that is what this bill is all about. ;)

Virginia's Bid For Fast Track Review Of The Health Care Law Apr 26, 2011
So, tomorrow the Supreme Court goes on their annual 3-month vacation. When do they expect to rule on the Healthcare Act? There are a slew of dates from May 10, 2010 through Sept. 2012.

Now Running $24.9B Trade Deficit With U.S. (CNSNews.com) - The Trans-Pacific Partnership that President Barack Obama is negotiating with 11 other nations seeks to eliminate both tariff and nontariff trade barriers with these countries, according to the Congressional Research Service. One of those countries is Vietnam, which the State Department says maintains a Communist regime.

Obama: Pass A Bill Or I’ll Rip Up The ConstitutionFeb 19, 2015
When Republicans challenged Obamacare in the courts, they had to overcome the hurdle of persuading the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a program enacted by Congress and signed by a president. The legal challenge by Texas and 25 other states to the administration’s executive actions on immigration is different. Congress never passed a Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (or DAPA) to grant legal status to some 5 million undocumented immigrants. President Ob ...

Tax Refunds To Illegals Under Obama Immigration Action Would Be Stopped By BillMar 10, 2015
Whatever one thinks of the President Obama’s aggressive executive action on immigration—which is still being litigated in the courts—tax refunds for the affected illegal immigrants has itself become controversial. The IRS says that illegals can file and claim refunds for the last three years under the Earned Income Tax Credit. That is the same refundable tax credit that is responsible for billions in fraudulent refunds. IRS Commissioner Koskinen confirm ...

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 ...
Pentagon 'loses Track' Of $500 Million U.S. Weapons In YemenMar 18, 2015
The ongoing unrest that forced the United States to close its embassy in Sanaa, Yemen, last month also has caused Pentagon officials to admit that they’ve lost track of $500 million in military equipment, including helicopters, Humvees and ammunition, that it donated to the country, The Washington Post reports. U.S. officials told the newspaper that they fear the “small arms, ammunition, night-vision goggles, patrol boats, vehicles and other supplies” may have s ...

Still Think The Repubs Are Not Just Using ObstructionDec 29, 2009
It was all part of the plan. The attempts at bipartisan health care reform very deliberately obstructed by the republicans. They planned well ahead of time to not work with the president with the specific intention of taking down the president and the next election-and this was more important to them than actually working on behalf of the people to bring about good health care reform~and they still are at it!
