Paul Krugman vilifies Bernie Sanders as a demagogue for connecting-the-dots between the decline of Detroit and America’s disastrous trade policy; and when economic arguments to defend the Clinton championed free trade deals come up short, Krugman is forced to resort to the foreign policy card and the United States credibility and standing in the world.
It’s been a given that many how have served in the U.S. military have been on the short-end of our foreign policy stick, the truth be told, in no small part due Bernie Sanders’ 2016 candidacy, is U.S. foreign policy has been borne on the back of America’s underclass.
With the 1% feathering their nests from America’s disastrous trade policy and the 99% coming up short, perhaps there should be an excess-profits assessment on globalization, instead of the Clinton-sponsored tax breaks for off-shoring.
