Fight Communism this way

@beckyromero tell me about PNTR
that sounds very interesting

@SatyrService

Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, legislation in 2020 establishing permanent normal trade relations with China.

Prior to that law, annual reviews were required (and China was granted normal trade relations every year since 1980).

In 1985, our trade deficit with China was about $6 million. In 2022, it was over $382 BILLION. (figures from the US Bureau of the Census)

Clearly PNTR has done nothing to improve our trade balance with China, nor has it done anything to improve human rights conditions in China.

I supported Dick Gephardt for president in 2004. Part of my decision was that he was opposed to granting China PNTR.

@beckyromero I remebber Dick Gephardt
and yes thanks I di go look it up
other clinton stupidity?
he signed the repal of theThe Glass-Steagall Act separated commercial and investment banking activities, which were previously conducted by the same institutions . The act aimed to prevent banks from taking excessive risks with depositors’ money and to protect consumers from the consequences of bank failures . The act was repealed in 1999

this has resulted in numerous back disasters, including the big one of 2010
it ALSO made it possible, for comnmerceaul banks to take over or buy
consumer banks,
we see how well that worked
