He's no protectionist. Just a lying con-artist and I wouldn't believe a word he says. I don't even know why we're discussing that creep.

For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence) -

Free trade only benefits the wealthy (Like Trump and Carlos Slim). It isn't lifting people overall. China has seen the greatest number of people lifted out of poverty because of technology and manufacturing. Favorable fair trade agreements too. When Trump brought up fair trade I laughed. He has no clue what it means.Comment

Also since we're talking about credibility Dinner, the man who will solve all of the world's problems, holds a meekly degree in geology which explains him being dumb as a rock and has participated in such glorious and successful humanitarian missions such as the invasion of Iraq, where he holded the position of psyops operative.
Now, granted that didn't entail anything more than passing around some leaflets with badly spelled arabic nonsense but it has its use because it's funyn that he'd accuse for example ellestar of being a paid troll.

I would rate it at 6 out of 10 due to the poop water for sporting events.
The reality is the Olympics never pays especially for developing countries. The only place where it does pay is in developed cities which already have all of the infrastructure in place so they do not have to shell out massive money for new construction. In that vain L. A. is the perfect place for an Olympics as it already has everything so new construction would be minimal.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
