Trade relations: Get ready for the TPP blitz.
After this election be prepared for a full campaign in support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, led by our two Democratic senators.
Their message is essentially “Jobs are good, trade is good; therefore, TPP must be good.”
One provision alone is enough to reject TPP. The Investor State Dispute Resolution, (ISDS), allows big banks, big pharma, and big corporations to sue a member for failure to receive anticipated profits. It is happening already. Don’t take my word, search YouTube for “TPP” and Robert Reich, Elizabeth Warren, or Bernie Sanders. It’s a no-brainer.
