Hillary

So she finally takes a stand.  On her first stump speech in Iowa she comes out on the side of Unions, Pelosi, and all the other isolationists and protectionists.   It's sad really.  The whole issue isn't about a particular deal.  It's giving whoever is President authority to negotiate.  She would benefit from an approval.  But we know how much she kowtows to the unions.

She bemoans the fact that Wall Street hedge fund managers and "fat cat CEO's" are making too much money and contributing to inequality.  All this while raking in hundreds of millions in speeches and from her slush fund...er...Foundation.

Now she wants the American worker to stagnate in the same old jobs doing the same old things moving farther and farther behind the rest of the world.  You'd think as SecState she would realize that we aren't the only country in the world that has capability.  Here's the bottom line.  Free trade is good for the country.  It's also tough.  Jobs will be lost...in the short term.  But it opens markets, it creates new job opportunities, and it ultimately promotes economic growth.  But according to Hillary, if the union thugs are against it, so is she.  As a head in the sand Democrat, that is an understandable position.  But as a former SecState and a potential President of all of us, it's shameful.
