Oct 2013

A statement by the 12 leaders after an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Bali said they made "significant progress" in setting standards for trade in goods and services, and for investment and public procurement.

All of our existing standards for goods and services and investment and public procurement - are flushed down the toilet.
Just think - environmental standards that Asia is happy with! Feces and melamine. Public procurement - no USA stuff for YOU! Investment - no strings attached - this looks like the one per-center Christmas wish all come true.

I don't care who is president - this reeks.
