7. Theater? "No TPP trade deal without crackdown on Chinese currency manipulation"

Schumer is not really fighting against TPP.

He's working to add this currency manipulation thing.

And once it gets added they will call it a compromise, say it's fixed, and whip up enough votes to pass it.

Probably we hear so much about currency manipulation because it's of especially important interest to the financial industry and the investment class.

But it's not even close to being the worse aspect of the TPP.

In my opinion this is theater, Schumer is working to protect the financial industry, while also putting on a show to give Democrats an excuse to vote for the TPP once this change is made.
