I got a bridge to nowhere to sell the people who actually believe this. No doubt the weasel language in the bill will have the opposite intended effects....
Just like how a BIG Giant company will pass a measure to penalize big Business that actually destroys their mid-level competition...
If I am looking for a reason NOT to support this bill, your murky assurances that the words of the law will not be followed isn't much to hang my hat on.

When was the last trade agreement that did not result in the loss of jobs here in the US?
Corporations want cheap labor because it produces more profit but want to keep the US consumer market wide open to the products they manufacture in these low wage countries. Every trade agreement in my lifetime has resulted in massive loss of jobs here and has created an unequal playing field ... we buy foreign products and services and they buy little to nothing from us...that is not trade, that is economic suicide.
Congress is bought and paid for.
Heres how much corporations paid US senators to fast-track the TPP bill
