Today's Debate

Well here we are, another day, another opinion. The opinion of the day I believe belongs to the Democrat Senator from Ohio, Sherrod Brown. He's a Democrat and he's worried about President Obama's trade policy. He feels that the giant American trade deficit with the rest of the world, is due to an unlevel playing field.
If he wanted to talk facts instead of politics, he would find out that in 2008 two thirds (2/3) of the deficit came from the importation of petroleum products. those imports have nothing to do with the creation of jobs or the lose of jobs. Another 20.5% of imports came from Canada and Mexico, our two most reliable allies and trading partners. It's in the U.S's interest to keep them both economically strong. So why is the good senator complaining? I'd have to take a wild guess that if you are in politics and you don't complain about something, nobody wants to talk to you, and if nobody wants to talk to you, you don't get your name in the media. So, he represents Ohio, where there are lots of people out of work because of the auto crisis, the financial crisis and the housing crisis. Who do you blame? Why the ferreners* of coarse, they are stealing all the jobs and he knows that of all the jobless people in the U.S. only about 3% of the loss is due to ferren* competition. It's oil stupid! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
See you soon.
