TPP has spawned massive propaganda and lies, especially concerning NAFTA and all the other fake [View all]

[Elwood P Dowd]

free trade agreements of the past 20+ years. I call them fake free trade agreements because that's exactly what they are. They are nothing more than investment/outsourcing scams to put more money in the pockets of Wall Street, the mega-rich, corporate executives, and certain Washington politicians and lobbyists. To add insult to injury, they also give these same people the power to change or modify our existing local, state, and federal laws. All you have to do is put a little more makeup and lipstick on the pig, give it a feel good name like "Free Trade" or "Partnership" and boom, some people will break a leg trying to race to the front of line to get their cheerleader pom-pom.

The propaganda and lies are now off the charts. So off the charts that we are now told that the 22 million net new jobs created under Clinton were the result of NAFTA. Do people claiming this have no shame?
Like poster Kentuck said, that logic is like claiming the rooster crowing before dawn caused the sun to come up.

Here are a few links from mostly people we know that are longtime loyal progressive Dems concerning the devastating effects of NAFTA.
