Obama's playing 3D chess - TPP. We just gotta trust him.

67. Do yourself a favor before knitting things from your imagination on what TPP is or what NAFTA was..

Make sure you understand the provisions of NAFTA and what it did to Mexico, which was never good for expanding their infrastructure and enabling Mexico to manufacture and delivery safe goods to prosper their economy. Make sure you understand the provisions of TPP and do similar, because it is essentially an agreement for business to make "goods" anywhere they please with environmental controls no longer an obstacle for them.

NAFTA was more about actual trade than TPP is. Both have suppressed what might have been fair trade to Mexico or any other country in these agreements.

Understand that TPP is more about the conditions that international corporations can conduct business within these entities. Case in point is the oil and gas industry, who are attempting to drill on any public land. Should their industry fail to be able to extract their projected earnings due to the safety concern and pushback from other nations, the O&G industry "rights" trump any regulatory controls of the state for health and safety. This is so they can be given the right to recuperate projected revenues, should their product not come to fruition in the country in which it failed.

Just so you know, the usurping of local ordinances, state and national laws is real under this so-called "partnership"… After the ban on fracking in NYS, hydraulic fracturing would legally be allowed, being trumped via the TPP if a country under this agreement challenge their right to extract oil and gas. Nationals would be responsible for this. Corporations, therefore, wouldn't dont need any stinking laws to deny their corporation the rights to extract oil and gas or whatever they feel they have earning potential with whenever feasible. It's that bad.
