- Report: TPP Would Ravage The U.S. Economy -

A new study into the economic repercussions of the Trans-Pacific Partnership has concluded that, as predicted, the deal will have a huge negative impact on the U.S. economy. America’s Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, and Farron Cousins discuss this on Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV.

Hosts Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins emphasize drastic effects the TPP trade agreement will have on US jobs, beyond what NAFTA and CAFTA did combined. The US will then also lose more jobs due to the 'trickle down' effect, Cousins says.

Pap just returned from Asia for a month, where the TPP is the hottest topic because when it comes they will see a bunch of new jobs. In terms of US costs, projections for the TPP trade agreement are expected to cause the loss of more than half a million- 500,000 American jobs that will be offshored Pap says.

He also reminds that NAFTA projections were way off, not 200,000, but 700,000 US jobs left in the end. Pap asks what is Hillary's position on TPP.
