Don't Worry be Happy, if you lose your job due to free trade we will help you out.
It was a promise never kept. Banks get bailed out. Wall Street gets bailed out. Trans-national Corporations get bailed out. But the millions who lost their jobs due to free trade, get nothing. Tarriffs have been taken off products and put on workers and future generations.
President Clinton, Senator Dole, Congressman Gingrich and the Democrat controlled Congress that passed both NAFTA and GATT free trade agreements in 1993-94 promised help to all workers who lost their jobs due to free trade.
The promises were never kept. In fact, those who caused the economic crisis and caused the lost of millions of jobs, receive bail-outs instead.
Those who still have jobs are living off those who lost theirs with many losing everything it took a lifetime to save. President Obama says in effect - Don't Worry be Happy - and ignores the continued surge of free trade and globalization as the major cause of our economic crisis. The largest employers in many major cities are Federal, State, County and Local governments. Other top employers are related to education or medical endeavors. All are paid directly or indirectly by taxes. Taxes come primarily from the private sector which has been smashed. Our economies based on making money on money instead of making things is burning out but no one seems to care.
Mortimer B. Zuckerman, Editor in Chief of U.S. News and World Report, tells us that jobs have been shed at a faster pace than at any other time in the past 50 years. However, he applauded President Clinton's free trade policies while millions were losing their jobs and the unemployment reporting was a sham with literally millions missing in action from any real kind of reporting during the most massive dislocation of jobs in history including the Great Depression. Zuckerman does not mention this in his editorial.
President Clinton used the Y2k crisis to proclaim statistical prosperity as billions were poured into the economy to fix the problems. The problems arose due to more than a million workers in the computer industry losing their jobs in the early 1990s. More than 350,000 jobs were cut in the computer industry in the first two years of the Clinton era.
Only 38 percent of workers in the USA, qualify for unemployment insurance benefits. Where are the other 62 percent?
The stock market and the dot com failures followed after the end of the Y2k crisis in 2,000. Alan Greenspan reports about the billions of dollars being poured into the economy to fix the problem in his book - The Age of Turbulence, but never associates the Y2k money as an artificial economic stimulus. Unfortunately, many companies spend money they did not have and this led to their downfall too.
The U.S. News and World Report once was one of the best sources for real data. My old history professor said that a person could get the equivalent of a college education just by reading the magazine every week for ten years. Now the magazine spews out the propaganda of the globalist free traders and as far as I know never mentioned free trade or globalization as being the major cause of our financial and job crisis.
They do report that 60 percent of Americans endure a sudden financial shock sometime during their working life but does not relate it to the failures of free trade.
It also reports a Be Happy, Don't Worry story about older employees who switch their jobs. Their median hourly wage drops from $16.86 at the old job to $10.86 at the new job. But despite the lower pay, older employees are often happier in their new jobs. "They are giving up money and benefits, but they're getting a less stressful job they find more meaningful."
It does not say anything about another report that said one third of those more than 55 years old who lose their jobs, never find another. Nor, do they say anything about the record breaking bankrupcties filed by the senior population.
I know a situation where a high tech person who lost their job and everything material in life went bankrupt and during the proces of the bankruptcy class he had to take , he was asked why he and his wife had to spend $400 a month of food.
As Walter Cronkite said at the end of most of his news programs - "that's the way it is" . This is the way it is in America and world today. The free traders continued their sham in global economic casino where governments act as brokers outside the will of the people with workers having no voice in the process.
But, Don't Worry, be Happy! Big government has merged with big money and now jumps over all those who lost their jobs due to free trade and globalization. The Reagan private sector trickle down economy has been replaced by a new big government trickle down economy. Unfortunately neither one works.
Don't Worry be Happy, if you lose your job due to free trade we will help you out.
