11. President Obama, where are you on this?

TISA is another irresponsible agreement like NAFTA and the TPP and some of the other much too big, much too sloppy, much to generous to the 1% trade and trade-related agreements we have entered into since Nixon first met with the leaders of China.

This is not good for America and not good for the world, and William Black explains why very well. As usual, William Black is defending Americans when our politicians fail.
