1. "Oops!" < So we are pushing the TPP to move jobs from China to cheaper places like Vietnam.

And move more of our jobs out faster in the process. We've already lost a million good US jobs, destroyed parts of Mexico. This will be more of the same and bring tragedy to people who have no clue about what is coming for them, thousands of working Americans and others.

So yeah, China stumbles. We, on the other hand, are attempting an intentional swan dive onto our collective faces, because it will hurt nearly everyone in this country. We have already had 10 million people move from above down into poverty just during the past 6 years. This will add to that.

All for it of course, Vietnam is keeping us posted: http://vietnam.usembassy.gov/tpp.html
