WOOL IN EYES

Who offers a better deal for the auto industry? Obama stepped in to rescue it from disaster. Here's NY Times columnist Paul Krugman today on Trump's loudly touted contribution:

even industries Trump claims he wants to help are protesting his policies, urging him to reverse course. General Motors warns that proposed auto tariffs could lead to “less investment, fewer jobs and lower wages for our employees.” The Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association has urged the administration to stand down, declaring that “counterproductive unilateral actions” will “erode U.S. jobs and growth” while doing nothing to protect national security.

The man is all blowhard boast and impetuous, worse-than-useless action. Republicans in Congress, notably "our" Rohrabacher, need to be replaced by women and men who look before they leap and act with an eye to the future and within the bounds of common sense and reason. Men and women like our candidate, Harley Rouda.

How to pull the wool from the eyes of those who blindly vote against their interests? It's the great American political dilemma. (I keep trying!)
