Fast Track And Medicare

President Obama wants Fast Track in order to protect U.S. trade for many years to come. Medicare is
not static, though. Medicare is fluid, and the savings it's racking up can be used to shore up American
power in the far east.
As a Medicare services consumer, I am realizing the savings Medicare is generating and growing little by little. I am using fewer expensive services than I did a few years ago because a) some services are less expensive, and b) I am a bit healthier.
A plethora of elder baby boomers flooding emergency rooms all at once with several catastrophic illnesses isn't a scenario America has to anticipate.
However, China causing a multitude of disadvantages for America and its trade partners in the Far East is an actual scenario our president has to anticipate.
At this moment, while we dither over industries which belong to 20th century America so that we don't have to train our citizens for 21st century industries- China has already begun a small campaign of terror for countries in the South China Seas who want the freedom to flex commercial muscle in the waters, and in the air, amidst territories normally thought of as free space.
Are we free to use American industries from the last century to hold us back, kicking and screaming,
from advancing ourselves into this century? Apparently, we are.
Ask though: if we hold onto those  last century industries, though we have the best research and training university systems in the world-  from whose mouths does the bread fall when the jobs we know we've outgrown come back to us, or fail to get to poorer workers?
We need to move full speed ahead into our future.
And the unions need to lead that charge.
