Jobs, Where are they?

It was Reagan's proposal. Clinton had no other choice but to sign it down the road after he was elected.

I see....Reagan 81-89....clinton 93-2000.....nice gap...ever hear of a veto?
Clinton while signing the NAFTA bill stated that "NAFTA means jobs. American jobs, and good-paying American jobs. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't support this agreement."

A vito doesn't mean jack shit when republicans can still push it through congress.

Which regulation of Obama's do you think is hurting US job growth the most?

When do you think half the nation is going to go without power? They'd better be ready before that.

stop trying to bring logic into this debate. this argument is about emotion and 40 years of repressed racism, goddamnit!

Bush I was going to sign NAFTA too.

As was H. Ross Perot.

So you really can't point that finger at the Hillbilly without making your side look just as bad.

I dont know...when?

I'm not the one claiming it.

I thought Perot said there's be a giant sucking sound if NAFTA was signed. Being opposed to NAFTA was one of his main positions.

Where did you read that? It looks false. http://www.opm.gov/feddata/HistoricalTables/TotalGovernmentSince1962.asp

This includes State jobs too, and because State Aid has been curtailed, States and local governments have slashed jobs under Obama.

they're starting the coal plant shutdowns, don't know what pace they will take. So I assume Barry's replacement is solar/wind...oops

I believe they all said NAFTA would cost jobs at first, but create jobs in the long run.

I'll have to look into Perot, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing them all say NAFTA was going to happen no matter who was elected.


It seems you're right, Perot wanted to re-write NAFTA.

where at?

 

[tsmith7559]

where at?

the future shutdowns are scheduled in the areas of WV, NC etc. Hopefully legislation will postpone them, we shall see

If it's 50% of our power, it has to be a whole lot more than WV and NC.

I see, you're right, I wasn't looking a local govs. Surprising that that kind of stat is shared only by Regan and Obama. I don't really have anything against big state governments in states that can afford and vote for it.
