I would just LOVE to hear your theory on how it was Democrats fault jobs were lost..

The simple fact is Reagan was the 1st US president to make major trade deals with China. Reagan started the outsourcing of our manufacturing jobs AND went to war with the unions. Republicans since Reagan have systematically destroyed Unions.

Added to this Republicans claim on one hand they are for the "working" man but their actions prove otherwise. Manufacturing went overseas because it became more profitable because of trade deals that "BOTH" parties created however Democrats never went to war with unions which were the backbone of the working class...

You really don't have a clue as to why manufacturing jobs went overseas. They went overseas not just because of labor costs but because our govt (which includes Republicans) made deals with countries like China for trade in exchange for the ability to borrow money to keep their ridiculous spending funded. Also Reagan was the 1st to steal money from Social Security and Republicans have been trying to call SS a "entitlement" ever since so they can just take "working people's" money and never pay it back..

The simple fucking fact is since Reagan it's only been Bill Clinton who managed to create a plan that would have balanced our deficit and then Bush jr came along and fucked it up by starting endless wars and giving tax cuts to the rich.. Republicans fuck the common man at every turn..
