HRC was critical of TPP before it was cool

[Jim Lane]

40. No, it is not in there. You are simply flat-out wrong.

Your citation proves nothing. The Wikipedia passage you cite says only that currency manipulation has been a contentious issue.

Damn right it's been contentious. It's been contentious because many knowledgeable commentators want it included in TPP but it isn't included. Here's
an update from the Communications Workers of America from February 5, 2015:

In a new report, the Economic Policy Institute said Japanese currency practices have cost the United States as many as 900,000 jobs.

But ask U.S. Trade Rep. Michael Froman how his team is handling notorious currency manipulators in the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade negotiations and he couldn't dance away fast enough from the question.

Don't ask me; currency is the responsibility of the Treasury Department, Froman began to say to Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing last week.

. . . .

Rules on currency manipulation won't be part of the massive TPP deal, the administration has told lawmakers.

Now, if you have inside information that the huge subject of currency manipulation -- which was not in the agreement after more than four years of negotiation -- has suddenly been added in the last three months, please share. With a link. Otherwise, I stand by my conclusion: You are simply flat-out wrong.
