15. JOBS: NAFTA, CAFTA,
NFAA, WMF, and WTO, and the UN.
The day after I’m sworn in as President, those boats coming from China,
can turn around and take that stuff back to China or anywhere.
Huge reduction in imports: Make these products in America, build that
new factory here and make it here, hire Americans. Lets restore the Balance of
Trade, I understand China does import items from the United States, but I fear
they will import, then copy our products to sell at a lower price to put the
American manufacture out of business.
What is happening
to our Blue Collar workers? Yet still you elected a Democrap?
Our nation finally hemorrhaging from
outsourcing, and the end is coming.
We can’t continue to destroy our job base
without total bankruptcy.
HELP AMERICA.
The “North American Free Trade Act”,
The “Security and Prosperity Partnership”, and various
versions of these acts, are to facilitate duty free trade between us and other countries.
The idea was to enhance trade (remove jobs) from the United States, move jobs
to Mexico, Central American, and other Third World nations. What that really
means is that American manufactures can ship production to Mexico, and then
bring those products back to the United States without paying any duty on
products assembled, or manufactured in Mexico.
The WTO, (“World Trade Organization”), is also the typical “lets help other countries
produce what use to be made in America”. The whole intent of all these bills is
to help other poor countries, have access to American Markets. America must get
out of these organizations.
“Bring
JOBS, BACK TO AMERICA”
From 2002 to 2006 more than 42,400 plants
closed, more than 800,000 American workers
were laid off, and new plants were built in Mexico,
hiring Mexican workers to fill those jobs.
The Commerce Department, and the State
Department have encouraged the movement of these plants, and jobs to other
countries, convinced this was best for economic benefits of America, and
Mexico, and other Central American countries. Along the Mexican border in
Mexico were plants for General Motors; Fisher-Price; Trico (makes windshield
wiper blades); Parker-Hannifin (use to be in Culver City, CA); Xerox; Ford; Kimberly-Clark;
IBM; Samsonite; General Electric; and Rockwell. Then in Reynosa, Mexico plants
for Zenith; Sylvania; Motorola; Admiral; Philco; Sunbeam; RCA; Quasar; and
Magnavox opened. Now all of those plants are closed, and all of our Electronic
Products are made in the Orient. So the Hispanics have invaded America looking
for more of our jobs.
You won’t find any of
these brands for sale in America anymore.
By 1991 only one company was still making
TV sets in America. After 1992 no factory was making TV sets in America. Now
you don’t find any American manufactured TV sets, or other electronic products.
WHY? Don’t buy any products from any of these companies. Stop buying anything
not made in America if some company in America makes it. If you don’t buy
foreign, some one in America will make it again.
******************************************************
On October 22, 2009 I viewed a documentary TV program, and
recorded it for reference, called “Rags to Riches to Rags”, the story of the
Garment Industry in America. Stating that in 1990 85% of clothing was made in
the USA, in 2006 only 5% of our clothing is made in the USA. This reported the
use of child labor in these foreign plants, some being paid $5/week, working 12hour
shifts, with no environmental controls in their plants. Fire hazards, workers
not protected from injury, and then those products shipped in to the USA and
sold for 10 times the manufacturing costs. I want duties on these products to
equal the cost of production in America, so buy “Made in the USA, by Americans”
Or else. Do you remember the Mode O Day
clothing stores all over America, Teen fashions at reasonable prices, made by
Americans in Los Angeles, CA. Try to find any clothing made in America now,
what happened to the industry that hired Americans? Our government shipped our
jobs overseas. Thank YOU!
******************************************************
30 July 2008, the
Federal Government claimed that America has lost 2.3 Million jobs since 2001, just from trade with
China; we have had enough haven’t we?
December 2008, over 11 million Americans applying for
unemployment insurance, By the end of January that increased to at least 12
million. Many of our retailers are going out of business. While we have a
temporary bailout for the Auto plants, that’s just enough until March 09, then
what? If you don’t buy American cars, then why make more, even if you want an
American car, either pay cash, or good luck trying to get a loan.
July and August
09, Congress enacted Cash for Klunkers, giving buyers
a rebate to buy a new car,
so
what did Americans buy, mostly foreign cars to help foreign manufactures
financial help.
Do
I agree with this? Well in July I wanted to buy a family member a used car,
what to buy?
I
looked at a beautiful Pontiac Montana
SUV, drove it, liked it at a price I felt I could
afford, then discovered technical problems with that model from 1998 to 2006,
so what to do? I actually felt like a traitor, buying a Hyundai SUV for a
friend, after researching and not finding one complaint on the Internet about
that vehicle.
So
I know the challenge many of you make when it’s time to buy another car.
Why
can’t we make cars Americans want? Detroit has been building crap.
Our government is disassembling our
manufacturing structure, and your jobs are going elsewhere.
Review
the index to this book, “America:
What went wrong”: by Bartlett, and Steele.
Economy: In the Los Angeles
Daily News Sunday 7 Oct 2007 report by Julia M. Scott about the economy in Los
Angeles, CA states research by the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy,
reports that 40% of the people living in Los Angeles
don’t have enough food, clothing, or housing.
How many kids in Los Angeles
are going to school each day, hungry?
If it’s like this in Los
Angeles, what is it like in the rest of the world?
By the way 79% of those kids
in Los Angeles schools are Hispanics.
How many of their parents
are in our nation legally?
As of April 09 there are
over 560,000 unemployed in Los Angeles County, CA. Where are they?
This is America, not
Timbuktu, or some place in India.
America
“was” the land of Golden opportunity.
Where are the good times? I
guess in China where everything is now being manufactured.
Don’t these companies
realize if we have no jobs anymore, we don’t have the money to buy anything
from China?
If we don’t turn this nation
around, there will be no nation. Housing market at a dead standstill, and all
the economy that goes with being a homeowner, now dead. Foreclosures may not have happened to your home (yet), but the so-called
“Trickle Down” economy will hit you too. If you are a small business owner that
deals with the public, soon your public can’t buy your product or services.
You lay off some employees
temporarily, and then they can’t pay their bills either.
We are all in this together
folks. HELP.
I suspect these same
conditions are happening in other cities of America. I know it is in Elkhart,
IN.
Home building down 28% in
America as of Dec 2007. Homebuyers are not buying furniture for these new
homes, not buying any other items new home owners normally would buy, our
economy shot, lets not continue this, lets save our nation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------No more American jobs;
In Industrial Water World magazine, Nov 07 a report by the editor
of The Tooling Manufacturing & Technologies Assoc. remarked about the cost
of Free Trade to America, spokesman Brian Sullivan noted: There are 36,000 fewer US “factories” than there were Eight Years ago. One in five manufacturing jobs has
been lost in the last 10 years.
Our government’s
solution; Learn to live with it, foreign nations are more important.
We have to help
other nations by downsizing America, learn to live on welfare, for 6 months.
There are some
great cardboard boxes down on Main St. for you, when you are homeless.
OR Don
Cordell’s plan: Stop importing anything, hire Americans at American
wages, so Americans are paying more Social Security taxes, while Illegal Alien
employers have avoided paying any of these taxes. Fire the illegal aliens, hire
Americans, and return all those products from China, back to China. Do not
import anything from Mexico until every single illegal alien has left our nation.
Our government is telling us
we can’t support Social Security in the future, that Social Security is broke;
of course we can’t, when so many non-Americans are employed in our workplace.
Homebuilders hire very few American citizens in that industry anymore. Our auto
industry is on the doldrums; while manufactures move production out of the
country.
Lets restore America; lets
hire American citizens, and show the world we can survive the traitors ruining
our nation now. American manufactures can produce a great product if they have
equal costs of manufacturing. We have
to restore our nation, or everything dear to the American way of life will end.
Our nation is about to be
destroyed so we will no longer be a threat to any other nation.
Disarmed, economically
destroyed, millions out of their homes, our schools dumbed down, our youngsters
untrained to do the skilled work of today, while we have foreigners asking for H-1b Visa’s to work in our nation, to get these jobs
at half the wages Americans would be paid to do the same job. That makes sense
doesn’t it?
Our Government
says; Send work out of the United States or bring in foreigners to do the work
in America, anyway to avoid “Americans” having jobs. That’s treason to me, how
about you?
I can’t believe our
government is allowing this to happen. Can you? I know why they are doing it,
to end the sovereignty of the United States.
Then telling us how America
can’t pay our retirees in the future because we are bankrupt, of course we are,
why? Are you ready to stop this treason?
I want some of the
past Elected Officials in prison, and Border Guards out of Prison.
I intend to stop NAFTA,
FTAA, CAFTA, the WTO, WMF, SPP, and any other treaty that comes along to end control of our borders, used to force America to deal with foreign imports, and illegal
immigration.
My policy is “If you make
it in Mexico, sell it in Mexico”, do not bring it back in to America to
sell to us, when it use to be made in America, Black and Decker, Sunbeam,
listen up. When I go to buy a simple thing like Windshield Wipers for my car,
and all of them are labeled, “Manufactured in Mexico, I’m mad. I am also mad
that often you can’t buy replacement blades, you have to buy the entire arm
assembly. I know better what we have to do, join me folks, lets retake America.
It’s criminal that American companies transfer all their
production out of this country, lay off Americans workers, Then; want us to believe
they are only interested in providing us their product at a cheaper price. The
prices don’t go down, the company profits go up, up, up, at the expense of
American workers.
The present administration reports more jobs being available,
yes, but at half, or less of the pay they received before. More,
and more minimum wage pay offered to skilled workers who were laid off when the
companies moved to some other country.
In April 2007 Circuit City Stores decided to lay off all
employees earning something like “more than” $9/hr. Then offered these workers
reemployment starting at minimum wage, what a disgrace. If you live near any Circuit
City Stores or their affiliates I would hope you would boycott this
company. (Thank goodness, Circuit City went bankrupt and closed forever.)
The financial stress on families is destroying our middle
class way of life. Inflation caused by fuel costs, runaway inflation, is
destroying America. The depression of the 1872-1878; 1928-1941 will be a picnic
in comparison. Massive depression is on the way, unless we stop this exporting
of our jobs, and manufacturing. Our Balance of Payments, are negative at 9
Trillion dollars. Most of that for OIL, and products from China.
In Walla Walla, and Dayton, WA The Jolly Green Giant,
(Seneca Foods) Asparagus factories were closed down. Del Monte
closed plants in Toppenish, WA, as our benevolent government passes the Andean
Trade Preference Act in 1991, eliminating trade tariffs on products from
Peru, Bolivia, Columbia, and Ecuador,
Then our government sent Billions of dollars in loans, credits,
and grants through the World Banks to these nations. We sent $3 Billion to
Peru, to establish Asparagus fields in Peru, so now Peru can pay workers $5
a day/or less, versus American workers earning $7.35/hr. So now our Asparagus
comes from Mexico, Peru, and China. Thousands, and thousands laid off in
America to aid Central, and South American nations prosper. When is America
going to prosper? I’ve bought things made in China, before I
realized what was going on. Now I do not buy anything made in China. Never
again, if we don’t stop this rape of America.
This country is bankrupt over, and over. We must change this, or
America is done.
Don’t buy Green
Giant®, or Del Monte® products, “made out of America” Read labels
From the White House, Council of Economic Advisors.
The Outlook, and Policy Responses (from your President): “At the same time, it is
important to recognize that trade can cause dislocation for some workers”.
President
Bush has proposed a number of policies to help people affected by such economic
changes. Notably, he has supported expanded trade adjustment assistance to help
displaced workers gain, or enhance job-related skills, and find new jobs,
including assistance with career counseling, training, income support during
training (for 6 months), job search assistance, and relocation
allowances.
The
Presidents innovative proposal for personal reemployment accounts will provide
resources to workers most in need to help with the costs of training, and
adjustment. The proposed reemployment accounts would then offer a cash
incentive for individuals to find work quickly, aligning public support with
private incentives.
Unions, I want our unions to get middle class income for
our middle class workers making products in America. I want workers to get
middle class income, so they can afford to support a family. Detroit has built some of the best cars in
the world. Detroit can’t compete with minimum wage employees desperate for work
at any wage hired by the other foreign companies in America.
The President has also worked with Congress
to ensure that unemployment insurance benefits are available to people in need
(up to an additional 15 weeks, after that you are screwed).
These
benefits provide important support for household incomes during difficult
economic times.
We
are told we now have less unemployment, yeah, except you lose your job at
$18/hr, now you’re working for $ 6.50/hr, in fast food joints, great employment
opportunities.
In most states now, you can’t even get a job pumping gas,
mostly self-serve. Wash your own windows; check your own oil. As you prepare to
drive to the unemployment office.
I know we need big business,
but we also need small businesses.
It use to be “What is good
for General Motors, is good for America”, now it’s “What’s good for the United States
is good for General Motors.
For auto manufactures there
are probably 50,000 other businesses that supply, and support the manufacturing
of an automobile, these small businesses hire millions of citizens, and that
supply’s many other jobs for our citizens. Excello® makes many of the
cardboard panels, and spacers that are door panels, all the inside kick panels,
the trunk inside panels. Excello® was One of the inventors of the
cardboard Milk cartons back in the 1940’s. When cars are not made in America, Excello®
has to lay off employees. Just one of the many suppliers to the auto industry
that you never see the product name, but it’s in your American car. Libby/Owens/Ford®,
makes window glass for cars. Saginaw® makes power steering units, Bendix®
makes brake parts, Delco® makes alternators and electrical parts, other
companies make the light bulbs, rubber parts, Timken® bearings,
lubricants, cloth for the seats, and head liner in the roof of your car, over
and over there are so many suppliers for the auto manufacture to assemble in to
that American Car.
Support America; buy
American.
Or help build the poor house
in town, because soon you will be living there!
Farm Subsidies: We need farmers, but we
don’t need huge farm conglomerates that are paid huge payoffs, to not farm
the land. I will limit help to only “individual farmer/cooperatives”, to a
reasonable amount since farmers are at the mercy of the weather. Then these
huge farm conglomerates know that over production of any food will be bought by
our government who has established price controls and this surplus food is
shipped to other countries at a cost less than the local growers in those
countries can produce, putting those local farmers out of business. No wonder
people in other countries hate the United States. We are not helping other
countries with our food policies. While American homeless go hungry. Something
wrong here, when farmers that don’t farm, get your $$$$$.
I’m not stupid, and we are
going to stop the rip off of the taxpayers by “landowners” who are not actually
farmers “in fact”. NO farm subsidies, or payoff to any farmland owner/operator
who doesn’t live within 10 miles of the land in question.
We
paid $20 billion in 2005 to non-farmers with your money.
Beverly
Hills, CA has 136 subsidized farmers. NO MORE. No food grows in Beverly Hills,
CA.
“That’s Outrageous”, Readers Digest® March
2007 Farmers in small towns in Mississippi and other small towns in America
receive next to nothing because they have such small farms, or are renting the
land, while the more elite are paid so much more, we need to help these
distressed farmers, not farmers in Peru, or in Beverly Hills, CA.
Sorry, growing Tobacco is
not a food crop. Although Marijuana farmers seem to think so, HA.

February 2007:
Report again, from Chrysler that they have to lay off 13,000 more, called the
Valentine’s Day Massacre, closing an assembly plant in Newark, NJ, another in
Del., reducing shifts in Warren, MI, and St. Louis, MO. and a parts center near
Cleveland, with reduction’s at other plants. How can this be happening in
America? Our American auto manufactures have made some great cars, now they’re
being undercut by imports with unfair competition. June 2008, I expect to see
many more layoffs now, with the recessions, and inflation that will destroy our
economy.
May 6, 2009
Chrysler now bankrupt, out of business, taken over by Fiat of Italy. What a
shame for Americans.
This is
exactly what happened in the Stock Market crash in 1929, failure after failure,
as the economy crashed. Millionaire one day, pauper the next, many committed
suicide from disgrace. Banks closed, our government in crisis, well we are that
point again. Are you going to let this happen out of apathy? Our Dollar is
fading in value in the world market.
Why build Electric Hybrid
cars, when you will not be able to buy one. You know! Eventually, we won’t be
able to afford any new car, if this keeps up. America is in real trouble if we
don’t stop this now. This is snow-balling, YOU have less money to spend, so YOU
buy less, stores close, factories close that made the merchandise YOU can no
longer afford, those workers now have no money to spend, and this spirals down,
and down.
1929:
happening again? You had better believe it. I was born in 1927, I know the
depression life that you are about to experience, and it isn’t pretty. It’s
sad.
The United Nations will
promise to save our nation, when they take over, and you will hope they’re
right and invite them to takeover our government. Do you have money in the
bank, bank closes, money gone. Insured by the government? HA, Government can
say, SORRY Sucker. Now your government is the United Nations and that money is
gone, then what are you going to do?
We must start
fighting back before our nation is turned over to the UNITED NATIONS.
