The corporate ownership is strong with this one.

When President Barack Obama promotes trade, he likes to say that 95 percent of the world's markets are outside the nation's borders — a potential goldmine for U.S.-made products. But Nike, where Obama made a pitch Friday, wants easier access to the U.S. market for the products it makes overseas.

why isn't the TPP discussed more here?

the most evil put together trade deal ever.

The US is the biggest market in the world, or at least just behind China, not sure why we give that away so easily.

Yes, but the same folks that support these trade deals will argue how they're so good for everybody. We even have folks on this board that claim to be liberal yet approve of these job killing, workplace safety reducing and environmental protection reducing policies.


We will not end these deals because we have no say. This will only end when the American people rise up and remove the current power structure. It won't be pretty when that happens.

the problem is TPP is secret and nobody knows what is in it.

Also it's only on fox.

Obama does not want people (even Congress) to see it in advance.

One should question why?

Let me establish I am not a fan of any big trade agreement, its been proven our Government is incapable of negotiating good ones. I do understand why all partners would want it private there would never be an agreement if everyone involved was talking and bickering about every detail the second they came up.

Why would it be? This place is not immune to the rays of bliss being beamed down upon the planet by our corporate masters. We are living in an episode of V we just dont know it, probably because they pulled the plug on that show before too much truth came out. If you havent seen that show then you will not understand what I mean by bliss. There are a LOT of important issues for which most people choose to remain blissfully ignorant.
