(21,506 posts)Not a single one of them able to point to any actual text and lay out the case. Lots of its secret so it is bad or here is a leaked snipet we think is bad.
Having said that the text has been available for a couple of months now and since it's release there have been crickets.
Should be quite simple to lay out all the horror of the tpp since the full text is there to be picked apart yet it just isn't happening.
What I see instead is lots of baseless nonsense posted over and over by people I would lay money have never actually bothered to look at it.
Same thing happened with Obamacare lots of reports of others opinion with little or no citation of actual legislation.
I get it people have busy lives they don't have time to read the actual agreements so they go with the opinion of sites they usually agree with.
That said I have read most of it and I have read the studies on its projected impact and I am not seeing the evil empire people keep trying to profess. Quite the opposite actually. I see a lot of labor and environmental protection being added to places we are already trading with.
I am happy to read any article you care to provide me with that has something in it besides doom and gloom with no citation of the sections they find so troubling.
I look forward to seeing one.
