“One of the problems that I’ve got with Washington, you know, today – and t I would really like to be one who helps to address – is everything is so transactional about, you know, what do the voters think today and so on. And there’s not enough people thinking out about the long-term impacts of some of these kind of decisions. That would be a really good example.”Specifically, Bredesen is discussing our economic policy toward China, and the Trump administration’s decision to kill the disastrous TPP trade “deal.” However, as you can clearly hear, he views that as simply an excellent example of a broader problem: Congressmen are just too concerned with the opinions of the people who put them in office and pay their bloated salaries. You can watch a clip of Mr. Bredesen’s comments below. Try not to retch.
