[lunasun]

41. where was JQ Public years ago on this??

DWTS or sleeping??!!! This is a big screw and I know you
have posted earlier to alarm folks here

Perhaps just the finishing touches by now on TPP I'd imagine ?
This goes back years now with no big public push back and Congress do nothings from past petitions

Some protests via Occupies occurred as with trade groups
WIKILEAKS
Public Citizen I know for a long time

and Citizens Trade Campaign alerted for example that leaked texts “reveal that the Obama administration has reversed reforms designed to enhance access to affordable medicines made during the George W. Bush administration and is instead demanding new rights for pharmaceutical firms to challenge pricing and other drug formulary policies used by many developed countries to keep down prices.” in 2011
Affects the health and welfare of billions of people worldwide, also environment laws and corporate tribunals over state all goes beyond trade and jobs

Oh and it will not just be Americans getting screwed and places like Vietnam winning it all in cheap labor
but rest assured a certain sector or 200 will profit imo

Look how the Columbian trade law 2012 (or even Mexico post NAFTA)

from the trade law and then the government's law in concert
Some of them type laws may be in our future ...
* Prohibition of the production, marketing and consumption of panela, a semi-refined sugar that is a Colombian staple (Resolutions 002546 of 2004 and 0779 of 2006)
* Prohibition of the sale of raw milk (Decree 2838 of 2006)
* Limits on the ability of small-scale farmers to raise and slaughter cattle (Decree 1500 of 2007)
* Prohibition of the production and marketing of heritage-breed chickens (Resolution 000957 of 2008)
* Controls on the production, use and marketing of all seeds in the country (Resolution 970 of 2010)
* Expansion of intellectual property rights to include seeds (Law 1518 of 2012).
