I don't know what's in TPP--it's supposedly classified. The little that slipped out is troubling though.
I think the next decade is going to be tough for most people
including the highly educated.
I would like to stem the flow of jobs drifting overseas, but don't feel confident. Programmers, even the ones with degrees are going to be hit hard. There's not to many white collar professions a hungry, intelligent person in another country could not master over the Internet--more easily than programming, and website developement?
I hope this TPP is not as bad as it seems? I sometimes think
Obama knew the party was over? I saw the desperation in his face when he felt he couldn't convince Americans they need health insurance. He knew the president really couldn't
change the economy, but he knew we needed health coverage.
(Coverage that would protect the family home from hospital litigators--if an uninsured family member got sick).
I wish us well, but am scared. I do wish Bush let the banks fail. That cd with .1 percent is frighting. These low rates helped the economy, but really hurt guys like me. Guys who couldn't gamble in stocks.
I am giving Obama the benefit of the doubt on this trade agreement. If it's as bad as some say; Trump might have a shot at president if he is serious about his reversing the trade imbalance, and bring America back to a manufacturing
Country?
On the minimum wage; I feel Obama sees the writing on the wall--the future will be bleak. The rich will have disposable income. The rich will still need to eat, buy, and hire security guards, etc. There will be great inflation. Why not get ahead of the game and raise the minimum wage? It might help out the majority(including the educated, whom don't come from benevolent wealthy families) get a little bit ahead?
I wish I moved to France in the late 80's. I had a shot, but was afraid.
