Passage Of TPP Will Be A Disaster For Dems Just Like NAFTA was. I'm Really Pissed.

169. You are a true "free" trade believer. Ronny Raygun and Milton thank you

All the past trade agreements have done is move jobs to low-low wage countries and unfairly make us compete with slave wage workers. The only ones who have profited off of these arrangements are wealthy multinationals who manufacturer in low wage countries then import those items and sell them here in the US. NO one, no corporation, no business has a right to use our markets and infrastructure (mostly for free) to sell their crap here in the US. It is Not a God given right that everyone should sell their crap here in the US. Workers and obviously our environment continue to suffer under these unfair agreements.

China, Japan and many other countries use VAT taxes as hidden tariffs and subsidize their fledgling industries to ensure their success. Then they sell most of their cheaply made products here in the US. Without the US as a main importer of goods, the world economy would be seriously hurting. The TPP is just more of the same crap that has ravished our economy and made the uber richer even richer at the expense of the American middle class.

Obama will be blamed for TPP like Bill Clinton was blamed for NAFTA. The corporate oligarchs always use a Democratic leader for cover.

"Despite the fact that the U.S. Constitution assigns to Congress the power “to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations” — not the president — the executive branch is devising this trade scheme with business elites from a few hundred corporations. The businesses’ representatives have free access to see and comment on the wording of proposed trade provisions, while congressmen are kept in the dark. Non-profit companies have been locked out as well. Even Democrats have been unsuccessful in begging the Obama administration to see what is in the works. Senators Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), Ron Wyden (Ore.), and Robert Menendez (N.J.) have petitioned the administration because the “process has excluded both Members of Congress and key stakeholders.”" http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/congress/item/20065-how-to-pass-disastrous-trade-agreements

If it just so great, why all the elaborate secrecy? Because it is so awful it would never pass if any non-"free" trader read it.
