I care about Mrs. Clintons lack of respect for our US security laws. I took the same oath she did. I respected mine, she crapped on it. Repeatedly!

The laws on intelligence oversight, communications security, etc are written on an 8th grade reading level. Not that hard to figure out and follow the law. She should be in jail. If anyone in the military had done this they would be in jail.

 

This was put in play in the third year of the Obama Presidency. The Intelligence community has had a chance to look into Her emails during that time frame. The message traffic on the subject is pretty definitive. Her leaks regarding Obama's position on Russia's aggressiveness in the region are well documented, maybe not in public, but they point to what Hillary said about American Foreign policy, postures, and policy on her black-berry and what was intercepted to and from her aides and confidants paints an interesting picture. It should be a movie in my opinion. The 30 plus thousand emails aren't "lost". They are intentionally mis-placed to avoid embarrassing Obama/Clinton any further. They will come out though.

The 13 hours movie was pretty fair, but this should be a movie too.

 

Cut her some slack. It's not like she was on the Senate Armed Services Committee or anything where she would have had extensive briefings/training on handling of classified materials. Senator Hillary Clinton Gets Slot on Armed Services Committee | IIP Digital

 

Not borne out by history?

 

Please walk us all through your logic of W being responsible for airline bankruptcies, furloughs and pension terminations. Then tell us all how Obama brought the airlines to our current state. You won't come up with anything other than partisan pablum. Correlation without causation.

I can make a solid case for external events being the root cause for both the downturn in the industry (a little thing known as 9/11) and the current boom in the industry (fracking/cheap oil). Correlation with causation.

 

As I think about this even further I am PO'd for two reasons:

1. My MEC takes my dues money. They take yours too, but they take mine. If the MEC wants to come out with a public policy opinion they need to check with me first.

2. My MEC should be spending it's time, energy, and money doing things that enhance, and not detract from pilot unity. This bone-headed move just makes us argue within the pilot group about the MEC's actions. It's a dis-unifying event. That in turn reduces pilot solidarity, and that in turn makes us weaker as a bargaining unit. This decision by the MEC makes my union weaker. Shame on my MEC for wasting our dues money and making it harder to negotiate against management and enforce the contract our our LOA's.

 

Yeah, could be just a coincidence. I mean DAL and UAL's pensions were terminated. AMR's was frozen. The difference? PBGC directors appointed by different administrations. The FAA Administrator (former ALPA chief) appointed by Obama brought us FAR117. TSA admin appointed by Obama brought us KCM. NMB members appointed by Clinton and Obama mediated contract 2000 and 2012 respectively. All circumstantial evidence. What happened to us during the Reagan and Bush years was catastrophic....but i'm sure it was just coincidence.

 

Remember NAFTA?

That little ole agreement put my father out of work. A card carrying pipe fitter and welder for 35 years. He was a ship builder in both the Hampton Roads VA, and Gretna, LA shipyards. He built freighters and super tankers. After NAFTA, he and thousands of other shipfitters lost their jobs to the Chinese. Those jobs never came back.

Bill Clinton (yesterday) and Hillary Clinton (today) both praise NAFTA. They both love it. It was a backwards and lopsided trade deal that set America into a downward spiral of outsourcing manufacturing and shipping jobs, not just in the short term, but for eternity.

Other negative impacts:

1. Encouraged outsourcing of Jobs overseas
2. Weakended Mexico Agriculture industry, Mexico's laborers then decided to illegally cross border to US to find work.
3. 97.2 Billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico
4. Both union and non union wages suppressed in America due to outsourcing pressure. IE. Chinese do it cheaper, therefore America will need to in order to compete locally and globally.
5. Trade tariffs made things fair. NAFTA removed trade tariffs. US lost more jobs and income due to removal of tariffs.
6. Increase in "border jobs" allowing for the importing of border labor to the USA for certain jobs and those workers don't pay taxes. The Maquiladora Workers program was not good for our country.
7. Mexico's environment deteriorated. Due to pressure to produce more, and become more competitive, Mexico used and continues to use more pesticide and fertilize to keep pace.
8. Open Skies...Not really, open roads. The total de-regulation of the Mexican trucking industry put allot of American long haul truckers out of work.
