(27,172 posts)Yeah, Bush 1 signed the agreement, the legislature ratified it and Clinton signed the implementation act in to law while praising it.
You and I know the repigs had just as much if not more hand in this fuck job. But that's not the point ...
The point is that union people "know" Clinton signed the act/agreement in to law. The agreement was implemented in 1994
I had this discussion with my brother about how "free trade" is a traditionally conservative/republican idea.....
I had the same conversation about bank deregulation....
And I had the same conversation about buying for-profit health insurance.....
Making "yeah but" excuses is getting old. I know the Democrats are are way better. That's why I've been a Democrat my whole adult life. But make no mistake, there is a reason I see union pipefitter bumper stickers next to Romney or Trump bumper stickers - a lot of ignorance and a lot of blurring of the lines the last 30 years. Oh, and plenty of racism too.
