Despite promises of jobs and growth benefiting working Americans the environment and investment chapters show nothing of the kind. There are no improved "protections" against corporate abuse in the documents when compared to NAFTA. At least none that I've read.

In reality it looks like banks and corporations have found the pot of gold under the rainbow. Hoooray!
