Everything Trump Touches Dies - Including Trade & Bringing Jobs Home
By Thom Hartmann A...
This just in from Lori Wallach, Director Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch - In his speech now underway at Whirlpool in Ohio, Trump claimed to have met all of his trade promises from 2016. NOT!Images of Thom
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
I just caught the end of the conversation with Rory Cooper from the "Heritage Foundation" I'm just curiouse why the republicans are always saying government should keep it's big nose out of the free market. However, when the free market dictates the price of oil worldwide, our government should intervene and do something to lower the prices? Isn't that the free market doing it's thing? How can they complain?
