It’s not the exports, because we know those will be next to zero.
It’s the massive imports from wage markets that utterly destroy jobs in the U. S.
We’ve absorbed about all the service sector jobs we can. What next?
And Congress rolls over like a beaten puppy.
TPP Reduces Human Trafficking and Child Labor to Misdemeanors

The TPP is much more than a “free-trade†agreement. It is part of the overall corporate and Wall Street agenda to make the world safe for corporate investment and profits by reducing labor costs and undercutting workers’ rights; dismantling labor, environmental, health and financial laws and regulations that could impact profits; and setting up a process to resolve any disputes by going through special international tribunals rather than our own court system

If passed, the TPP will:
make it easier for big corporations to ship our jobs overseas, pushing down our wages and increasing income inequality,
flood our country with unsafe imported food,
jack up the cost of medicines by giving big pharmaceutical corporations new monopoly rights to keep lower cost generic drugs off the market,
empower corporations to attack our environmental and health safeguards,
ban Buy American policies needed to create green jobs,
roll back Wall Street reforms,
sneak in SOPA-like threats to Internet freedom,
and undermine human
Between our treasonous president and our treasonous congress ... this treasonous outrage will pass.
Get it done before President Trump takes office...
Wait a second! Didn’t I just read, in the last couple of days or so, that obummer signed the TPP in New Zealand very quietly? Maybe I heard wrong. From what I read; he did it there because we Americans are so against it and he knows it.
When it comes to doing anything to undermine the American way; you can be obamao is all over it. They only reason he wanted to become Prezident was to do his level best to destroy our country. A country he never liked or was ever a part of personally.
They will wait until the lame duck congress and then pass it at midnight. On a voice vote.
Stymie His Feculence!
We are now living the tinfoil hat theories of 20 years ago.
Obama is an idiot, we can all agree on that. Putting aside the fact that wherever he meddles things get worse and not better the real issue here is capitalism. I think the question is about competition. The very nature of capitalism gives us winners and losers. If we simply removed trade barriers thats a plus. Make better products, more products that people want, you’re the winner. What TPP does is change the teams in the pursuit of ‘fairness’ which is fundamentally unfair to the winners. If it was a football game the goal is to change the outcome from 36-6 to 20-17. Maybe the result is one point higher. an overall gain but one side will certain;y have less. That side is us and thats Obama’s goal.
