That's real politics. Both these subcommittees deal with issues that are of utmost concern to every American. We in the Reform Party believe our government has not acted in the best interests of the American people in either area. See my positions on both Fair Trade and Social Security. Money buys influence.
Big money buys a big amount of influence.
Politicians are not given that much money with no strings attached. Politicians are expected to produce desirable votes or lose their support. While a member's votes in committee meetings are not often made public, the resulting laws and tax reforms are known. I oppose the free trade agreements being approved by the Subcommittee on Trade that now hurt our nation's manufacturing capability by encouraging the movement of high paying manufacturing jobs to Mexico and other third world countries. I favor fair trade that increases the level of employment in our manufacturing sector and strengthens the middle class.
