(3,366 posts)You are all for trade deals. But Hillary, once a champion of trade deals, is now -- during a campaign -- back-pedaling on them. You call this "politics" and define politics as "being responsive to the electorate."
Are you disappointed that she no longer loves trade deals?
Or do you understand she is just playing "politics" and that once elected, she will no longer need to be "responsive to the electorate" and will be free to flip-flop to her original position? If so, she's lying -- no matter what cute euphemisms you use.
A 50-year-old is out of work because his/her job vanished overseas. If he/she retrains for one of these wonderful high-quality good-paying jobs, won't he/she have to accept an entry-level position seeing as he/she has no experience? And how many would hire a 50-year-old for an entry-level position, or even if he/she does have experience? The factory worker is going to up his/her skills for exactly what kind of high-quality good-paying job? How about the IT technician/professional -- what new career do you have in mind?
Most people who have lost their jobs are not finding better ones! They are getting low-quality, part-time crap.
It's just a lot of flowery language that means NOTHING in the real world.
