The Plain Dealer tells about the Republican presidential candidates but still leaves out the issue of free trade economics. Rubio, Cruz, Walker, Kasich, Christie and the other "establishment Republican candidates join hands together and sing their song of homage to free trade." They sing free trade economics is good for you, like it or not. The present free trader Democrat president listens off stage with that sly smile on his face. Donald Trump trumps them all singing - By the way, it isn't so. Ben Carson is waiting in the wings ready to challenge them all with a brilliant song. And Rand Paul is still backstage trying to find a way to get his message out to the world. I am in the background chanting - Free trade economics is a structural sin against all in society. And add, "Do you feel like a gladiator in a global economic arena fighting for your economic life."

It is not trade. It is an economic process that divides investments from production and moves production anywhere in the world for the sake of cheaper labor and more profits. It also frees investment from the responsibility for workers' dignity. 1. It degrades the value of workers and labor, with this loss of value representing trillions of dollars lost forever and the buying power of many. 2. Furthermore, the trade deficit which has broken records for more than 20 years represents additional trillions of dollars lost forever. 3. In 2008, President Obama had to bail out the process by borrowing trillions of dollars from future generations. However the bailout from the top trickled and petered out about halfway down. He ignored the suffering of the millions who lost their jobs and businesses due to free trade economics. Free trade is an economic cancer that is spreading across the world. Free trade is a sin against the social gospel violating workers who have a right to a just wage for the fruits of their labor. Free trade secludes the free market for only a few to enjoy. Governments staffed by big money interests rule the process. There is no popular vote allowed. Ray Tapajna, Cleveland The Trade Deficit has broken records since 1994 and represents trillions of dollars of value lost forever. President Obama bailed out big money, Wall Street and banks but ignored the suffering of workers who have lost everything due to free trade economics. The value of workers and labor has been degraded and deflated. This represents trillions of even more dollars lost forever. This value is a real money standard too. It is a better money standard than all the money created out of nothing by the Federal Reserve and other international money standards. There is no value to start with. It needs to be manipulated and fined tune to add value. One of the values being manipulated is the value of workers and labor. Free trade is not trade. It is an economic system that divides investments from production and moving production anywhere in the world for the sake of cheaper labor and more profits for the investment community. In order for any economy to work right there must be a parity between the value of workers and labor and the money values. This is why free trade economics has failed. President Obama had to bail out the process in 2008 by borrowing trillions of dollars from the future. However, he only bailed out big money interests, the financial communities, banks, Wall Street and the "too big to fail" corporations. This made the process a ponzi scheme and all who took the money now are also a ponzi scheme. He ignored the value of workers and labor being degraded and deflated and destroyed the possibilities of having parity between investments and production. The betrayal of workers and the American Dream
FROM THE DIVINE TO THE DEFICIT__ Published in 1994 __Predicted the Economic Crisis that Occupys All Streets in 2012 - This letter launched my advocacy for workers dignity...... Can Gingrich and the Republicans keep their promises- and should they? By Ray Tapajna, Cleve Plain Dealer 12/11/94 As a Conservative, I apologize to the American worker (for Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh (Limbaugh was instrumental in the elections of the new Contract with America Republicans.) Soon they will be promising a chicken for every pot and telling us to be happy. Maybe Gingrich will add it to the "contract". What they don't understand is that many of us came out of the woodwork (to vote) because the option of being "Clintonized" was too much to handle. We were against the new GATT because we were against the old GATT that exported our jobs and industries. Anyone who has dealth with this end of things knows that our American idea if fair play doesn't happen in many foreign countries.Anyone who has been on either side of a strike line knows nothing gets resolved by moving the jobs outside the USA. It seem both Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh have a problem in defining what human dignity is all about Those who feel Limbaugh betrayed them by hiding his real feelings about the GATT trade agreement until after the election should drop a note to his sponsors and the radiio station to tell them to boycott their products. Then we conservatives would like to reach out to the workers of America and offer an alliance of solidarity until this terrible "Big Money" thing stops stealing the Ameriacn Dream from us. In the meantime, the Republicans can stuff their 'Contract with America'. GATT should have been part of it. (President Clinton and a Democrat controlled Congress passed both NAFTA and GATT. GATT was passed in a Lameduck session even though the Republicans had won the House- Clinton joined hands with Dole and Gingrich Republicans in betraying the American workers.-- President Bush followed in 2000 and passed Fast Track which in effect made the Executive Branch of the US , the new CEO of the world economy .-- This had no basis in our Constitution or history. President Obama picks up where the others left off and bails out big money and puts them back in charge of the process ) See http://www.bizarrepolitics.com/rush-limbaugh-could-have-saved-the-world Free Trade is not trade as historically practiced and defined. It is more about moving factories from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor. The U.S. Federal Government sponsored the moving of factories outside of the U.S. starting in 1956. It was supposed to be a temporary program to test the possibilities of finding cheaper labor in other countries and provide lower consumer costs for Americans. It never ended with practically all presidents since 1956 participating in the process. During the first few years only a few hundred factories were moved to Mexico. This evolved into the Maquiladora Factory Program where U.S. manufacturers could move their factories to Mexico and get workers for about a one dollar an hour. Some even closed down their production completely and contracted Mexican companies who took over all the production at a fraction of the cost of doing it in the U.S. Also many corporations were able to bypass the more stringent environmental regulations in the U.S. by doing it this way. After a few years, medical problems and abnormal births grew in the region on both sides of the border.

Do not depend on the hope of results-- When you are doing the sort of work you have taken on, you may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and achieve no worth at all, if not perhaps, results opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you will start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness and the truth of the work itself." *This is our inspiration for our work regarding human dignity in the work day. We also dedicate this site to Padre Alberto Hurtado. He was one the first Saints to be canonized by Pope Benedict. Padre Alberto Hurtado led the way for workers dignity in Chile fifty years ago. His influence is now global. He became a Saint faster than any Jesuit in history. ( His inspiration was Jacque Maritain, the great Philosopher of our times, who wrote about community and human dignity in the work day. -
THE SELL OUT OF AMERICA! 50% of U.S. Human Resources are not being used ! ( Getting America Working Survey ) THE REAL WORLD: Oct. 2002- The Bureau of Labor Statistics finally confirmed that at least 4 million workers are missing in action having given up looking for work. (It is actually much higher than this - here is how the BLS obtains its unemployment information.) ...The U.S. Labor Dept. actually has 6 different categories used to report the unemployment rate. The media only gives the one that shows the lowest rate. It they reported the U-6 series, it would show an over 10% unemployment rate. U-6 includes discouraged job seekers, marginally attached workers and forced part-timers. Overall, it is impossible to compare the unemployment rate with the past since primarily only full time jobs with benefits were reported in the past. Part-time work was usuallly a separate category. Today, even a person making only a $100 a month is considered employed. Also the unemployment rate was formerly based on unemployment insurance but now since only 40% of all workers nationally qualify for unemployment, the Bureau of Labor Statistics changed their methods and poll about 50,000 households a month to get their results. So when a political leader states that we have the lowest unemployment rate in 20 to 30 years, this is not true since the methods are completely different. When a BSL poll taker calls a household , they ask the person anserwing the phone if they were looking for a job in the previous month. If they say no, they are considered employed. If a person says they are helping out in the family business or on a family farm without pay while seeking a job, they are considered employed. If they say they are a consultant or have a side business while seeking a job, they are considered employed. (In high tech, many of the unemloyed call themselves consultants until they find a job.) In addition, temporary jobs, day labor, contract, leased, part time etc are all considered jobs these days even if the person is hardly making any income. 60% of all workers do not work long enough or make enough money in any given period to qualify for unemployment insurance. For this reason, the Bureau of Labor Satistics said they had to find a new way to count the unemployment rate and could not depend on the unemployment insurance offices for their reporting. Get America Working Forum says that 50% of U.S. human resources are not being used.
