(7,960 posts)Without a Democratic president, Bill Clinton, pushing NAFTA this trade agreement would never have gotten through Congress. Without a Democratic president, Barak Obama, the TPP would be dead in the water.
I admire both Clinton and Obama for the other good things that they have done but in my opinion these trade deals have been a disaster for anyone who is not a member of the investor class.

(6,891 posts)a very profitable global conglomerate that does 40% of its business in the US and is a major DOD contractor. It is the 45th largest corporation in America with 70 thousand highly unionized and well paid US employees. I think there's some leverage there for any politician who actually gives a shit about the American working class.

(6,819 posts)public forum. Who would do that? Usually idiotic decisions like that come "announced" via the press or email to employees, or mid-level managers are left to break the bad news.
No ethics or morals on any level. "You're on your own, suckers!"
