2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSec of Commerce ignores disappearing US Middle Class, says Asian Middle Class to see massive growth.
She is on Morning Joe promoting trade agreements. So in the U.S. the middle class is disappearing and in Asia the middle class will see massive growth.
Remind me again which country/people our politicians represent?
She also said something about other countries adopting our environmental policies. Nothing about the U.S. ceding our sovereignty to foreign multi-national corporations so that are laws can be overridden.

Our environmental policies circa 1890 or so.

gut our laws.
