It wasn't the "liberals" who ran up the biggest debt this nation has ever seen and left us with exactly nothing to show for all that spending. No new schools, no infrastructure improvements, no updated energy grid. Nothing. Spending record amounts of money while buying nothing is what's put us all behind the 8 ball.

What does NAFTA have to do with China? I never liked NAFTA, but since China is not in North America, I don't see the correlation.

Are you familiar with unfunded mandates? Bush/Cheney loved those. They've hurt all of the states. Noticed your state/local taxes going up in recent years? Give thanks to Bush/Cheney. Passing responsibility for payment off to local/state governments made the federal bottom line look better, bad as it is anyway.

The Clintons made a number of trips to China to negotiate our jobs away. Mexico wasn't enough.

Well, if the billboards don't work, there is always impeachment.

I agree and the fear is that the far right, the-sky-is-falling types are creating a whole bunch of Timothy McVeight's who will actually look at a billboard like that and think they have a mandate to kill the president and every liberal they can find. One of the major reasons our country is admired around the world is for our peaceful transfer of power every 4 or 8 years. The far right is going to take that away from us if they don't back off of their hate messages.

The jobs are still leaving the country by the hundreds of thousands. And nothing stops this president from doing something to get the jobs back now that his party controls everything, the White House, the Senate, and the Congress. There are no excuses like split government.
