Reply #9: ***F-A-I-R TRADE*** Not "Free" trade Damnit! [View All]

Making the same mistakes over and over. I am not sure if we can ever get to better policy as long as our leaders are comfortable and well paid and surrounded by the rich, ruling, elite. They seem to live in another world. Everything looks rosie for them so there must not be any underlying structural problems with policies of the past. Just need to "tweak" them a bit.

This is why I can only support this administration with reservation. We need *fundamental* reform because our global policies are based on bancrupt ideology. I don't think Obama really understands that. I think he believes, like Clinton did, that the problem is not that global, semi-libertarian, "free market" ideology doesn't work, but that (for the 10th time), it just "hasn't been implimented correctly".

Bullshit. IT DOESN'T work, and it is killing us!

We need Fair Trade, based that includes limitations designed to shift economies toward inner stability and equivilency in competition, and build community. You will never get that as long as you listen to the big corporations.
