In reply to the discussion: HRC was critical of TPP before it was cool [View all]MaggieD
(7,393 posts)"So it's fair to say that our economies are entwined, and we need to keep upping our game both bilaterally and with partners across the region through agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP. Australia is a critical partner. This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field. And when negotiated, this agreement will cover 40 percent of the world's total trade and build in strong protections for workers and the environment."
So are you saying that ALL trade agreements are automatically bad for the US? They are only good for the rest of the country, but bad for the United States? Do you advocate just making it illegal for US corps to sell or buy anything outside the United States?
I'd really love to know. Because so far I am not seeing you understand much at all about the global economy.
