The Nation: Who Backs the TPP and a ‘NAFTA on Steroids’? ALEC

4. Krugman focuses on the trade aspects of it- which are not the bulk of the problem

"The big talk about TPP isn’t that silly. But my starting point for things like this is that most conventional barriers to trade — tariffs, import quotas, and so on — are already quite low, so that it’s hard to get big effects out of lowering them still further"

as he says tariffs are already quite low.

In this very, very short piece, he doesn't address investor state disputes or sovereignty or copyright or drug issues or any of the other myriad concerns that have been exhaustively researched.

sorry, but that piece by his is a joke. I suggest reading the letters that follow that foolish piece.
