Jeff Sessions is amazing, and I hope he and other US Senators who care about American Workers, American Citizens, American Businesses and American Voters will block this evil fast-track trade authority by the Executive Branch, not just for this one, but for all of them, and obliterate from the federal budget every dime now appropriated to the "Office of the US Trade Representative". This office is an in-house mole operation to destroy the US economy, impoverish US citizens and bankrupt the United States. Not one dime of federal taxpayer money should be spent with the Executive Branch negotiating any free trade treason pact, agreement or treaty. Not a dime.

And here's why. A few businesses who want this, primarily the handful that fund the traitorous US Chamber of Commerce, negotiate their business deals here and abroad without any interference from government. And that is the way it's supposed to be. But some are lazy, greedy, dishonest and manipulative, with no concerns whatsoever for the consequences of their money-making endeavors. And that's fine, they're entitled to be that way. They're businesses and that's the freedom they want and that's the freedom they have. Meanwhile, the role of government is to put limitations on the damage to others they can do in their money-making endeavors.

Government is supposed to make it very difficult to close plants in the US and very expensive to import foreign made goods that are or could be produced here to support our market. Government is charged with the responsibility and duty under the US Constitution to promote the "general welfare", insure "domestic tranquility", and secure "the blessings of liberty" for the people of the United States and our posterity. So of the 6 purposes of our government, these three apply predominantly to economic and business issues.

Now, when our government is importing foreign labor through immigration plots and schemes while shipping our good manufacturing jobs, investment and technology out of the country through "trade agreements", is it promoting the "general welfare", insuring the "domestic tranquility" and securing the "blessings of liberty" of the people of the United States and our posterity?

Not only no it isn't, it's HELL NO, it's doing the complete opposite by undercutting our workers, impoverishing our citizens, undermining our domestic businesses, and bankrupting the United States. So, is it fair to say that any action by the US government to import labor that hurts our workers, import products that compete with our businesses, increase poverty, grow poverty spending and the national debt is 100% unconstitutional enterprises by the federal government?

Not only yes it is, it's HELL YES. This government has become a corrupt, inept, incompetent, bribed entity that has decided of itself, by itself and for itself, to destroy the United States by dissolving our national interest and territory, superseding our national laws with international laws, and ending the sovereign status of the United States.

This can not be tolerated. Free Trade needs to become the new "F" word. Anyone speaking favorably or positively or even neutrally on the subject in a political campaign needs to be thrown out of the race long before they get on the roster.

Americans are some of the kindest most tolerant people on the planet, except when you harm US, and when you harm US, you're now on the list of "Unlikes". It's just a simple law of the universe as basic to human nature as any human characteristic we have, based on intelligence, common sense, facts, fairness and survival, the same as any group of humans anywhere, so if humans from other countries claim they don't understand the "anti-immigrant" mode of the United States right now, then they're the ones whistlin' dixie and it's long past time for them to admit defeat and depart the United States.

Alfred P. Sloan who was then, I think, the CEO of General Motors, said it best: "The business of business is business."

If want businesses to not hire cheaper illegal labor, we will have to use government as a countervailing power. Same thing if we want to limit imports by countries whose governments will subsidize their cost of production and/or whose workers work for pennies.

BTW in his private life, Sloan was a philanthropist, and there still is an Alfred P. Sloan foundation which sponsors programs on NPR.

There is no question that Senator Sessions has it right on this issue. I applaud he and his position. The question is , is his stance anything like the Grand Ol' Pretenders party stance. The numbers would make it clear that he is one of a few and the few are ineffective at convincing others that they are wrong. I suggest that other than those few doing it right that the other republican party members not be voted for, just like democrats are not to be voted for. It is the only way that it will ever be changed at the ballot box, if we should have time to do it there. Since it was not changed in '14 that is doubtful.

Exactly. That's why to protect the wages of our citizens, we control our borders and have a few labor laws to regulate businesses to control worker abuse and some other laws to protect our society and environment from bad business practices. That's why to protect our businesses, we practiced protected trade to ensure that at least within our own sovereign territory, our businesses were not forced to compete with foreign countries operating under different styles and standards. Immigration control and protected trade, along with the vehement hatred of the income tax, were fundamental basic economic foundations of the Republican Party. It was those principles along with our devotion to civil and equal rights for all our citizens that made our country great, and those are the principles to which we must return to stop this madness and fix our nation.

Judy's Five Steps To Fix the US Economy

1. stop illegal immigration and reduce legal immigration
2. pass the FairTax
3. protect our trade
4. end the War on Drugs
5. drill baby drill, but do it right

Judy's Five Principles to Abide

1. if you don't believe in abortion, don't have one
2. if you don't believe in gay marriage, don't marry one
3. if you breed 'em, you feed 'em
4. if you want it, you pay for it
5. if you make it over there, you sell it over there

Very simple. That's how we "create a more perfect union, establish justice, insure the domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for the people of the United States and our posterity." Yes, that is straight out of the Preamble to the United States Constitution that as a preamble established the 6 purposes of our creating a federal government of the United States and the 6 responsibilities of that government.

We must take these steps and abide these principles so that in the words of our first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, during his Gettysburg Address, "Government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the Earth." and the people of the United States along with it.

When we save our nation, we save ourselves. When we save ourselves, we save the world.

It's just that simple.
