The notion that America remains the great nation that once boomed in the 1960’s-1980’s has to be discarded entirely from the minds of the American people. America is only as strong as its weakest link. Weather that be racial tensions, corrupt government, U.S. debt or a broken healthcare system. Since when was a country considered “great” when it is home to where people are threatened, fired, attacked, belittled and ripped to shreds for having differing opinions? Or when 151 million of its citizens receive government help and where millions of illegal immigrants pour through its borders at will? Is a country considered “great” when pornograghy becomes a billion-dollar buisness inside it’s borders, “50 Shades of Grey” becomes a bestseller and when it’s people are so confused that they can’t differentiate between male and female? Does a “great” country laugh at morality, reject reality, and worship crossdressers? If so, what's so “great” about America?

This study showed that instead of an increase in jobs, they fired U.S. workers and moved operations to Mexico. Given NAFTA’s record of damage, President Barack Obama joined the corporate Pinocchios who lied about NAFTA, recycling similar claims to try to sell the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which is basically NAFTA on
