In reply to the discussion: Without endorsing TPP, some things to consider about it. [View all]AgingAmerican
(12,958 posts)1. China has never been expansionist
2. China's average income is about the same as Mexico's, even though they are one of the richest countries on earth. China's GDP has increased 6 fold since 1998, yet they have only moved from 91st to 94th. That is just pathetic.
3. Trade deals make the oligarchy in third world countries richer and more powerful. They don't give a shit about their citizens.
4. You are saying our trade deficit would shift to other oligarchies that pay even less than China. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
5. Too laughable to comment on
6. "If China makes the deal, the profits will go to its millionaire and billionaire elites rather than ours" You gotta be kidding me.
You make a very good set of arguments AGAINST the TPP
