Right now we the taxpayers have a 15 billion suit being thrown at us from the Keystone threat.

And some time back remember the dolphin free tuna cans label, well some tuna fisher men in Mexico sued this country on that label and won ---------------this was the first case if I remember correctly.

I really like what you said at the very end.

China wants the US to sign this, shoot yeah, then they come up to the plate and say, you did this why not us.

One big problem, there tariffs protect them while our tariffs don't.

I truly believe that if and when this country as a whole understands that word completely "tariffs", we the public at large are going to hurt badly with this "trade deal" and any others coming down the pike.

That's why the EU said no on the TTIP, the unions, and other factors said you have to have a "fair" playing field for our laws, or contracts and such and if we had stronger unions in this country we would not be in this mess
