(135,425 posts)You do know that Darryl Issa published those leaks on his webpage--it's not like they're secret anymore. And there are objections from a number of corners, yes--none of this is a surprise. You don't have to give me links to the opposing or even the supporting views, I have done the research and I am aware of the objections in many corners--to include the objections of people who aren't living in the USA. I've provided some of those links in this thread.
Painting people as "friends of the 99 percent" -- or, if they aren't friends, what are they--enemies? -- is what I find stupid and cartoonish. And as I've pointed out, at least one person touted as a friend is actually in favor of reducing tariffs so that our markets can be flooded with more cheap foreign apparel. But hey, who'd know that if they didn't do their research?
It's hard as hell to find any nuance on this board anymore. It's all RAH RAH "LOVE" this one/"HATE" that one, like a junior high school cafeteria.
