@JMU ridiculous decision to open yesterday! Telling students that the main roads are fine and failing to recognize that the complexes they live in are still an icy mess. @HarrisonburgVA buses not running on all routes.
What about students with physical challenges?
Cry me a river! She made 177K per year, lived in Belgium, owned a home in Maryland and a flat in Belgium. She had an opportunity to take the retirement that would have gotten her to 20 years. She made to decision to turn it down. Now she plays the victim. https://t.co/I9HTlWGh8g
"And worse of all, the Chinese pile on and add unfair rules that violate free trade... their exports get a 27% advantage here in the U.S. and our imports get a 27% disadvantage..."
Fun Fact: Senator @ChuckSchumer advocated a 27.5% tariff on China in 2005
WOW: Bernie Sanders in 2015: "Open borders is a right-wing proposal. Immigration can make Americans poorer."
Wild to see such a rational take from him....even more wild to see how far he's fallen.
🚨SHOCKING: Senator @ChuckSchumer passionately advocates for a 27.5% tariff on China in 2005!
"It says to the Chinese that their unfair trade policies have got to end. The Chinese have enjoyed a yuge trade surplus with the U.S. Every year it gets larger and larger."
"Much of that trade surplus is because the Chinese don't play fair. They don't let our goods into their country. I can tell you company after company in New York who cannot sell goods in China or can only sell them under impossible conditions."
"The Chinese make no effort to prevent the ripping off of our intellectual property. These are our crown jewels. The thinking. The great creativity. The great entrepreneurialness of the American business community is just taken, and they shrug their shoulders."
"And worse of all, the Chinese pile on and add unfair rules that violate free trade. And at the top of that list is the fact that the Chinese peg their currency abnormally low, so their exports get a 27% advantage here in the U.S. and our imports get a 27% disadvantage when sold in China. Every tenet of free trade, if you believe in it, says they should not peg their currency."
"What does this mean for America? It means a yuge job loss. We have suffered dramatically in manufacturing jobs, service jobs, and other jobs. It means we have a huge trade deficit. It means the dollar sinks to abysmally low levels, threatening our wealth, and it creates chaos in the whole world trading system."
"We are fed up, Mr. President. How can we stand by as millions of American workers lose their jobs? As thousands of American companies can't compete fairly? As our country as a whole has wealth drained from it?"
"What we seek is fairness in trade. The Chinese do not play by the rules. We have talked and talked and talked to them. The time for action is now. If not now, when? If not us, who? Millions of American workers and thousands of American businesses look to us to set things right, and today, by passing the Schumer-Graham amendment, we can do that."
Tagging @SenSchumer — he’ll see your comments!
@AmericaNewsX The rock thrower was arrested after the cart was safely lifted by Fire/Rescue Personnel. He had already pushed over a motorcycle and destroyed a vehicle's windshield, and broke other windows and property.
@BillAckman calm down. Market will come out of this higher. Tarrifs have been called for but no one but @POTUS has acted on them. @SpeakerPelosi@BernieSanders and many others that are claiming Tarrifs are bad had called for them for decades.
FLASHBACK: 30 years ago, Nancy Pelosi demanded Congress confront Chinese tariffs on American goods. Despite opposing Trump's current tariff policy, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., questioned free trade in a 2008 Senate speech. So did Obama and Shumer.
Bernie Sanders WANTED TARIFFS in 2008
Bernie Sanders said not having Tariffs in America means all our manufacturing goes overseas and it’s the same thing as giving corporations the “freedom to throw American workers out on the street”
What changed?!?
