Obama has not, nor will he ever, give one iota of attention to small business.He is the Anointed One, the hand picked and groomed Messiah who dances on the strings of his Globalist puppet masters. His mission is simple: &quot;America must die, so it can be-reborn&quot;. The mission statement is outlined in the United Nations Agenda 21 Protocols, or, very nicely summarized in the mission statement of the Rockefeller Foundation.These Liberals and Globalists look at the world and sees it&#039;s injustices and seeks equity. America now has an agenda of Social, Economic, Judicial, Cultural, Religious, and Biological Equity. Ownership of private property is deemed as a social injustice. The accumulation of wealth is an injustice. Everything or anything that can give rise to the perception of someone having something more or better than someone else, is deemed abhorrent. &quot;American greed must end&quot;, shout the Globalists. &quot;It is not fair that someone has more than me&quot;, they proclaim. The answer to American greed is a global re-distribution of wealth. What I fail to understand is how is their desire to take from others considered noble? Is that not just their greed itching to be fed without even having to put forth the effort to earn it?For all the shortcomings of America, when you look at our front door, more people are lined up to enter our &#039;house&#039; than any other nation in the world.

Simplistically stated, the entire agenda has but a singular purpose: to end all private enterprise, re-distribute wealth, raise the buying power of the worlds population at the expense of those that have a perceived disproportionate amount of money, so that ALL people can be consumers of the multi-national corporations.For American&#039;s, the price of admission is their Freedom.(I digressed because response to the premise of the post is meaningless, so long as we have those in office that are hellbound on the destruction of America)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>De-valuation of the dollar and the subsequent de-militarization of our defense is not an outcome of trade agreements, it is an outcome of a failed political system that thinks the policies of today will somehow fixed the failed policies of yesterday.

During the 30 years following the end of WWII, if any country in the world wanted manufactured goods of any type, there was only one place to go, the U.S.  IN that period, businesses grew as did thwages and benefits of American workers.By 1975, the price of oil tripled from previous levels, inflation took off like a rocket and by 1982 the Prime Rate was 22%; you couldn&#039;t get a fixed rate mortgage.  Higher quality and more fuel efficient cars began flooding the American market, causing massive layoffs in the automotive industry, followed by layoffs in the steel industry and other auto supply industries.  We were in stagflation.  This continued until the Reagan years and reversed itself when Reagan cut taxes businesses began to expand and the stock market reached new highs.Since that time, American business has been outsourcing manufacturing jobs as fast as possible to capitalize on cheap foreign labor.

The current Administration has no intention of creating American jobs with free trade nor any other sensible solution. I am exhausted by the outrages perped by Obama, for example stopping the drilling in Utah and Alaska. Rep. Paulsen is right that it would help out, but that means we will never see it. Now if somebody comes up with a way to ruin our economy, then the full weight of the Presidency will get behind it.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t hold your breath waiting for free trade agreements (unless it is with Liberal/Socialist tyrants).
