Forget the DU created issues. How does Hillary not have an opinion on TPP?

116. We losgt manufacturing and jobs to Mexico in particular.

I am an ordinary citizen. I have seen the damage. When I look at the jobs that used to be filled within the UIS to serve our US market and then at all the imported sloppily made junk that fill our stores, I am horrified. It is not only bad for the environment to produce so much throw-away junk. It has left many, many Americans without meaningful, productive work. We can only eat so many McDonalds hamburgers in this country. We can produce only so much military hardware.

When I look at my pre-NAFTA, pre this mania for "free trade" well-made Maytag washer and drier that I bought second-hand in 1985, and then see that the new "deluxe" model washers and driers my children have purchased at outrageous prices have already broken down or needed repair in far fewer years than I have had my washer-drier, I am incensed at the waste.

"Free trade" is in many respects one huge scam, a fraud.

And maybe the worst of it is that Americans don't learn and don't know how to do useful trades like making furniture, manufacturing steel, textiles, clothing, etc.

If you talk to most Americans, they will agree with me but continue to buy at import stores because of the prices. And those prices are so low because of the exploitation of near-slave labor and currency manipulation. It's dishonesty. And the trade courts are desired by corporations so that they can continue to indulge their sociopathic greed and dishonesty and enrich themselves in the process. It is unconscionable.
