May 2013

President Obama has already signed Free Trade Agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia.

He has been working in secret behind closed doors for years on this TTIP disaster.

It has been referred to as NAFTA on steroids.

Democratic or Republican, it doesn't matter, they both keep enacting polices that are destroying the job market in the U.S.

Bill Clinton signed NAFTA and ended Glass Steagall.

Both parties work for the corporations, banks, Wall Street, and the MIC.

Actions speak louder than words.

Just look at the people President Obama has appointed; Wall Street tycoons, lobbyists, revolving door puppets, big energy con men and the list goes on and on.

He has kept many Bush appointees.

They are all in cahoots together.

The media will continue to carry their water and tell the public how great this TTIP will be.

Same bullshit; different day, different year, different decade.

It is enough to make a person feel sickeningly helpless.
