16. he ass-kissed the sec of treasury too
the topic was supposed to be about trade with china and how it has impacted US un-employment. even the GOP congressman said that job losses to chinese industries was the overwhelming topic his local constituents hammered him on during the recess. but when dobbs had the sec of teasury on, all that clown did was talk abnout how american industries and the american society in general would have to change to suit the attack by chinese trade.

what followed was the standard litany from cheap labor conservatives on how the US had to deal with the problem.....first...TAX CUTS!! then tort reform, then evironmental de-regulation.

none of those topics would have a direct positive effect on increasing US employment vis-a-vis chinese trade.

so what the sec of treasury was saying is that the US society had to become more like the chinese to be competitive.

and all dobbs did was smile and nod in agreement.
