Gov. Mary Fallin ask fellow State citizens to help pray away the job crisis

The pound is down big deal😂 Thats always a catty way to win an argument.

The pound is down, but they have their freedom.

Why are you placing a monetary value on national sovereignty?

Yeah, massive devaluation is actually a dig deal. People who were not going hungry are going hungry because the money they had one day went to shit the next.

They were free before.

They were sovereign before.

They were not. They were controlled by faceless politicians in Brussels.

Ironic you care about devaluation when that is all Trump has been talking about.

But I guess since he is talking about it, that prevents you from talking about it, until now.

Okay then.

Don't see how that is ironic? I never claimed I am opposed to everything Trump talks about. I'm sure we have common interest. eg I heard he has a fondness for coconut water and I love coconut water.

Huh?

All Trump has been talking about is China and Japan devaluated their currency, if its such a problem, then why are you not voting for Trump, we know Clinton isn't going to do a damn thing about it.

Trump is pro China, he saves/makes lots of money off of China. eg Importing Chinese steel and aluminum because he could save a few cents per pount instead of buying locally and supporting US metal industry.

Because steel is not made in really america anymore. I like how you want to blame Trump and not the policies that have ran the steel industry out of America. And that was not a counter to national devaluation debate we are having.

The steel industry has fallen, but there's still a large steel industry in the US.

Aluminum is fairly large too, multi-billion dollar industry.

But you are blaming Trump and somehow trying to tie Chinas devaluation to it.

I'm just giving you the facts, as much as Trump says he's anti China, he saves and makes millions by buying Chinese.

As is everyone else, cause that is the current system. He's supposed to pay 10x more for steel from the US cause our dumbass negotiators have rigged it against america?

Time has a point. You can't blame a businessman for making profitable decisions. It's the government's job to make sure that the best interests of both parties align.

Where did I "blame" Trump? I'm merely stating that Trump is pro China because he saves/makes millions using them.

And what does that have to do with China's devaluation that you just said was a problem in Britain with the pound?

Why is it you always find a way to find fault with Trump, when he has to base his business decisions based on the current state of affairs?

Is he supposed to be an idiot and pay 10x more for steel?

You're the one that brought in China's devaluation in regards to Brexit and Brexit voters choosing wisely.

Good post but instead of "parties" why not say "best interests of the American people."

Omg we just went around in circles. You said devaluation was a major problem, and I said " All Trump has been talking about is China and Japan devaluated their currency, if its such a problem, then why are you not voting for Trump, we know Clinton isn't going to do a damn thing about it.'

then you said

"Trump is pro China, he saves/makes lots of money off of China. eg Importing Chinese steel and aluminum because he could save a few cents per pound instead of buying locally and supporting US metal industry."

Its not even the same subject, Trump CANT CONTROL THE DEVALUATION AT THIS TIME.

You seem to be confused?

China devaluating the Yuan for years was to promote exports from China, but it's starting to backfire on them and no one, even the Chinese hold the Yuan as a world player anymore, why rich Chinese are buying property out of country as investments because those 10million USD worth of Yuan in the bank could be worth 7million USD next week or tomorrow. The Yuan is unstable.

All in all, China's gamble has apparently worked well for the US as the US Dollar has gained a good 30% (at least back early this year) over other major world currencies.

So all of our steel jobs leaving the country is good for America...

No, it's bad for the US steel.
