23. Thats true, but as with NAFTA that lost American jobs, there will be a huge net loss of jobs
Robert Scott, international economist for the Economic Policy Institute, estimates that the trade deals taken together will result in a loss of 214,000 jobs.

While he believes there will be 478,000 export related jobs created in the United States by the deals, he argues the increased exports to the United States from the countries will cost nearly 700,000 jobs.

"All we hear is about the export jobs being created," he said. "The problem is they count the home team's score and leave off the visitors' score."


This is the same method used to sell NAFTA, and will yield the same results.
How many times must you fall for a con job before you learn not to play 3 card montey with the shifty eyed guy on the corner?
