We need TPP to compete with the China threat we created when we signed a trade deal to ship

[whereisjustice]

millions of US jobs and technology to low-wage, unregulated labor markets in China.

Now you understand free trade.

1. Vietnam is the new China and our corporations want to move jobs there.

China is getting too expensive with workers making $2.00 an hour.

2. How many decades were we subject to the demon evil Communist Cold war?

Now we have the Communist gold rush. On the positive side you can bet Johnny McCain will not be bombing any more light bulb factories of women and children in Vietnam.

All those duck and cover drills in grade school for nothing.

5. Sure, and when they get uppity and want $2/hr, corps can just move to another country

Heck, they haven't begun to really exploit labor in Africa yet.

Well, again. But this time leaving the labor in Africa.

[Elwood P Dowd]

6. Yes, Africa will again be furnishing slaves for US corporations.

This time it won't cotton plantations, but companies like GE, Nike, Wal Mart, etc..

When the repukes get total control of Washington, they will cook up something like the Freedom for Africa Republican Trade Agreement or FART.

3. it's a race to the bottom...

the master plan is the degrade American society and the work force to such a point that the people of this country will work for pennies so the United States can match the slave labor work force of china!

the ttp would make that happen.

4. China's economy is tanking.
