Why Do You Think President Obama Supports The TPP?

45. It's part of the deal.

Like letting Wall Street off the hook, there are certain things he is expected to hold his nose and get done.

The TPP looks like it basically supercedes member-nation laws and regulations governing everything.

It will likely destroy member nations' ability to regulate the Internet, food safety and genetically-modified labeling, subsidies for prescription drugs, and pretty much anything else one can think of.

If the leaks are true and hold up in the final document, it basically takes the member nations and guts their existing policies to make them de facto American States for all legal intents and purposes, giving corporations the ability to sue to stop any government practices which they believe infringe upon their right to exploit those markets.

I really hope it's not the case, but that's what it sounds like every time I read about it.
