Below is from a couple of different sources. But for me, the killer is I don’t trust Obama to act in the best interests of America or American citizens. Has he done one thing that is good for this country? Are we better off for the last eight years in terms of wealth, safety, or any aspect of culture? So, below is what I’ve read.

Over the past 20 years, free trade agreements have served to disadvantage American workers, undermine domestic food safety and prevent developing countries from using sensible economic development policies to grow their economies. The TPP seeks to use the same recipe that brought us the disastrous 2007 financial crisis.
The deal will increase the flow of dangerous fish imports from Southeast Asia, lower our consumer product and food safety standards, force exports of liquefied natural gas to Japan and undermine financial regulations.
9. Why has the TPP been so secretive? Is that normal?
Trade negotiations are usually conducted in private, on the theory that parties won’t be able to have a meaningful dialogue if their positions are disclosed to the public. Accordingly, TPP parties have signed a confidentiality agreement requiring them to share proposals only with “government officials and individuals who are part of the government’s domestic trade advisory process.”
What’s different this time is the scale and scope of the agreement, and the reasons advocates have had to be concerned about its contents. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) have been particularly vocal about the administration’s refusal to make draft text available, as have law professors and numerous public interest groups. There have been a couple major unintentional releases, most recently in mid-November, when Wikileaks published a controversial chapter on intellectual property.
You know how to use Google, but can’t find the text of the TPP? Good grief.
