(13,106 posts)I thought it was a corporate commercial for the TPP.
He was accompanied by members of the Chamber of Commerce.
There were no dissenting voices or opinions.
He mentioned the Free Trade Deal that he signed with South Korea,
but left out that it has cost the U.S. 75,000 jobs since 2011-2014 and
increased our trade deficit by billions.
I guess we watched two different programs.
If you would like a different perspective on the TPP,
may I suggest Democracy Now.
