If you are not moving forward then you are sliding backwards...the jobs that we thought were "good jobs" back in the 50's and 60's are becoming a thing of the past (i.e. coal mining, manufacturing, etc). And if that's all you can cling to - then the future is not going to be very bright for you. We should be retraining our work force to be able to hold down the jobs that will actually exist for the next generations...the ones in technology and the medical/health care fields. And to your point about the work that America has sent to Mexico - why do you think the number of people coming from Mexico into the US has slowed way down over the past several years? Because they have jobs now in their own country....and the American companies who moved down there are busy counting their profit $$$ and laughing all the way to the bank. Isolationism has been tried repeatedly and has never been successful...economies based on global partnerships and cooperation will be the ultimate solution. But unfortunately all of this is lost on the 71 yr old man sitting in the oval office whose views are rooted in the past and is now only concerned with amassing as much personal wealth as he can....and throwing out a continuous stream of distractions to divert our attention from the real problems.

@Lavergne Its not for me and Im not clinging to it. Towns with no where to work for poor, uneducated people who know nothing else is who Im concerned with.Theres nothing there.Businesses closed down years ago,no hope.They need help desperately. Like Veterans,they should come first.Those are real problems.Im not on here to argue or place blame like everyone else.Americans should be top priority.
