Shout out for the President's TPP Program!

[pragmatic_dem]

It's a golden piece of shit for anyone who works for a living.

Clearly, trillions in Wall Street bailouts weren't enough. Wall Street wants to be able to hire someone in India at $7/Hr to help offshore your job to Vietnam at $0.30/Hr.

And they'll figure out how to deduct the "restructuring/capital improvement" costs for it from their taxes.

It isn't a third way - it's a third rail and Washington and Wall Street are holding your gonads to it.

Think Citizens United was bad? This is worse.

[Squinch]

1. I'll give you "as bad as" Citizens United. Both are disasters.

7. Yes, valid argument is CU was the big bang for a new universe comprised of very shitty people -nt

[msongs]

2. it's so great that it has to be kept secret from the American people nt

[madinmaryland]

3. Welcome to DU!!

TPP is even worse than NAFTA.

[Hoyt]

4. Unfortunately, I think they can do that now, and do.

[LAGC]

5. Wouldn't a "pragmatic dem" support the TPP?

Just sayin'...



Enjoy your stay.

9. A pragmatic person will not grow the wealth of 5% by taking even more from the 95%...

this will be a fucking disaster unless you work for a company that specializes in selling jobs to Asia at pennies on the dollar.

Even at pennies on the dollar there is still billions to be made at the expense of 300 million US citizens.

Middle class is getting tired of paying for both rich and poor. The rich have more than they deserve. They need to start contributing to America instead of breaking it down.

14. The third way...

has corrupted the term pragmatic.

[pragmatic_dem]

15. Yep. Time to take the word away from them until they learn how to use it properly. -nt

6. You smell familiar, I'm Sure I know you from somewhere...

was it the bbq last summer where Jacquie cooked the Banker or was it the one where Stan bbq'd Obama's feet?

[pragmatic_dem]

13. I don't have time for that...

when we bring the median wage up from the 1970s and stop spying on the Sierra Club while Russian teenagers steal 100 million credit cards from Target, we can playfully banter about whatever the fuck you want.

10. Golden piece of shit is right.

Welcome to DU.

[polichick]

11. USA! USA! USA!

[jsr]

12. Kill it. Delete it. Burn it.

[woo me with science]

16. Thank you.

18. Put it in a paper bag, set it alight, place it on Wall St's doorstep

Now this is really bad stuff from this administration; but think about it: Given the absolute hate and obstructionism the GOP has shown for this administration; On this, they are with him 100 percent.

[theaocp]

19. So, what happens when we can't afford the goods that are produced?

Are the jobs imported back here at $0.20 an hour? What a fucking cluckerfuck. Fuck.

[pragmatic_dem]

20. yep - Wall Street won't be happy until the US resembles the slums of Asia

Wall Street is fighting like dogs for scraps left over from the middle class.
