WTF Obama Siding W/ The Enemy To Fuck Workers. [View all]

TPP is a disaster in waiting for the American work force. I worked at DOL and NAFTA was a complete disaster for US workers. And it continues to be a disaster. TPP will turn the labor work force into rubble. Why the fuck get a degree when you must compete against someone global who makes PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR for the same degree.

Fuck Obama's legacy. He is selling out our work force and the country on TPP. I watched our work force get gutted after NAFTA passed. These trade agreements are POS. And wages will plummet after TPP. You cannot compete with 50 cents a day where some jobs will go on the planet. And there are places where 50 cents a day is a lot of money.

TPP IS DAMNED INSANE for US.

Obama is being a fool on this matter. Why would you help people who have been bashing you continually.

Sorry for the language. But TPP is so bad and reasons to pass it are just plain lies.
