"The irony is that the president came out and said, 'This is about who makes the trade rules—China or the United States?'" Stiglitz said. "But I think the big issue is, this is about who makes the rules of trade—the American people, our democratic process, or the corporations? And who they’re made for, which is, for the corporations or for all of us?"

I love Stiglitz. He is exactly right on the economy and the trade deals. But try as I might I could not watch the third rah rah trade deal segment. I have had quite enough of that bullshit.
