If you don't believe we live in a global economy and that all trade agreements are bad...

[Jitter65]

you are drastically uninformed and subject to all kinds of manipulation against your own good.

2. If you believe 'trade agreements' should deal with trade....

3. Right!

Because destroying environmental protections - social safety nets - food and drug law regulation, etc. etc. etc. in order for global corporations to move in and squeeze out that last dollar and gain control of essentials for life - such as water, the IMF who 'has to step in' to impose austerity, etc. from the most vulnerable, who always suffer the most when their gov'ts can't come up with the money to fight the lawsuits, is all so good!

4. All trade agreements are bad?

5. Ah.

It's the beginning of the back-pedalling on the TPP, wherein Which Hillary #1 is deleted from memory and Which Hillary #2 reverts to it being the "gold standard" once again.

6. False choice.

We can operate in a global economy and still protect our workers, Which is what most other countries do. It is impossible to make gains on income inequality , if we don't have a trade policy that protects our workers. Which is what most other countries do.

7. Moving an American factory to a 3rd world country to exploit cheap labor

is not "trade" with that 3rd world country. If you believe that it is you are drastically uninformed.

8. Or drastically trying to uninform others.....
