Ismith, would have you believe that it's better for you the U.S. consumer. Free trade ensure that large corporations can bring you less expensive goods and services. This in turn will help corporate profitability, which will raise the collective wealth of the stockholders which in turn will benefit America and Americans.
Ya know Eelgrass, if it were me, while in the waiting room, my head would fill with images of throwing evey Mexican out on his pompe. Then the medical staff would gleefully rush to assist my elderly father while he was being reassured that he was in the best medical care. But then I would pop back out to reality and continue to wait 2 more hours, wondering how in the world this is ever going to get better?
Who's country is this anyways? If (guessing) 82 of 250 top economic entities are corporations and countries, I'm guessing corporations and foreign countries. I believe England, Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., France, and probably a few others. Sadly, I used to think it belonged to all of us Americans. Ya know I own 1/300,000,000th+, but I'm starting to see more Mexican economic refugees standing in front of my local Home Depot. Now I just feel like I'm getting 1/300,000,000th of the bill...and there better be no questions asked.
How tall is that fence again? China's growing economy will have a direct corellation on the number Mexican economic refugees illegally residing in the U.S. That's o.k. at least we have not had 6 consecutive years of record-breaking trade deficits or we're borrowing money at the rate of 1 billion a day from... Oops, never mind, look a rainbow!
Hope you Pops hand got fixed.
