Bipartisanship in the senate

Drs · 2018-07-13T17:13:41.242Z

The American people as a whole?

conan · 2018-07-13T17:16:21.323Z

That is the role of he senate…as they should have a say.

Cratic3947 · 2018-07-13T17:22:56.166Z

They should write a treaty. That’s how they influence.

JayJay · 2018-07-13T18:10:15.652Z

Their bipartisan interest is reasserting themselves as one of the three coequal branches of government.

so, you think the senate serves the interest of the American people on a bipartisan basis.? do you think there should be any tariffs at all? what if the end result of Trumps actions deliver zero tariffs both ways?

bootz · 2018-07-14T16:01:38.744Z

why not on border issues?

bootz · 2018-07-14T16:02:51.187Z

The issue is that for years the senate has been a focal point of partisanship. why would they come together on only this issue

conan · 2018-07-14T16:04:01.971Z

Because the same special interest owns both parties.

Drs · 2018-07-14T16:17:03.485Z

The problem is Trump’s actions are not putting people in the mood to negotiate.

Trump like his base are ignorant. For instance Trump’s complaint about the Canadian dairy system and complaints about TPP. TPP actually had language to open up the Canadian market to more foreign dairy.

manufacturing unions chased manufacturing out of the country

the trade deficit is 800 billion plus per year. it would appear that every other nation benefits from trading with the United States. Perhaps there is more going on than meets the eye. Hence a bipartisan vote. what else do the parties agree upon?

bootz · 2018-07-14T18:12:33.583Z

The pro union democratic party is all of the sudden for free trade and open borders. Tax policy drove capital investment overseas much more than unions.

JayJay · 2018-07-14T19:31:07.981Z

To push back against Trump trying to accrue more power to the Executive.

bootz · 2018-07-14T19:48:49.796Z

and when it came to families at the border, they gave him the power and refused to act.

bootz · 2018-07-14T20:02:47.173Z

If you beliee that, then what do you think about higher minimum wages and the impact on automation in low skilled jobs.

Then why is German manufacturing so strong with it’s heavily unionized manufacturing industries?

Eagle-Keeper · 2018-07-14T21:51:04.419Z

Likely the most accurate reply.

Impenitent:

manufacturing unions chased manufacturing out of the country

So, no answer to Germany’s successful ability to keep it’s industrial unions.
