The TPP Trade Deal is looming closer to becoming a finalized reality. Current negotiations center around Auto Manufacturing, and Japanese negotiators have constructed an outline that would devastate what remains of the U.S. Auto industry.

Unfortunately the K-Street lobbyists, funded by Wall Street through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, have already greased the legislative skids to all but guarantee the elimination of thousands of jobs. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue gave Senators $18 million in bribe money to insure passage.

The TPP deal encompasses approximately 40% of total global manufacturing. Trillions of dollars are at stake.

Speaking of the auto industry in Detroit and elsewhere, I just finished reading Freedom’s Forge about the mobilization of US industrial might in WW2. Most shocking to me was how the unions (led by communists) were dragged kicking and screaming to support the war effort because they were bred to believe it was trick to exploit workers and big labor. Their absenteeism, labor strikes, corruption, and constant bickering seriously jeopardized Allied victory in the war in every theater. I honestly did not know that, having been raised on a diet of Rosie the Riveter and the American industrial might, I had thought we were all rowing together in WW2.

Well that should tell you all you need to know on any issue where the unions take an active side. I did not know as much about this particular history of unions and WW2 than you did....but it doesn't surprise me, and I do know that the US government had to get in bed with the mob to get some things done. No doubt some of that was getting unions on board. Thanks for the info. I'm a WW 2 buff, but I guess a lot of these History/Hero/ networks whitewash the union stuff a bit.

I’m a little lost with all the politics of it, but will this make cars MORE or LESS expensive to American consumers??

That depends. If American consumers lose their manufacturing jobs and have to take part time McJobs, then cars will be more expensive regardless of whether the prices drop.
