Basically a deal like this is going to be hashed out soon, and it's better the relatively good USA writes the rules rather than the mercantalists of China.

Classic "'Obama is far right', 'Obama is far left'" exchange. Sad world we're living in when Greatness is not recognized by the masses.

Clearly Obama is a tyrannical far-centrist, ruthlessly imposing his moderate opinions on the innocent communists and fascists of America alike.

The idea that a bill written for global mulch-national corporations is any good for the workers is ridiculous. This along, with other free trade bills such as NAFTA hurt the backs of the working class both in Mexico and the US and only benefit the rich and the corporations. These bills also leads to a more globalized world, not for the workers or the people and communal friendship and peace but for the exploitation of the common man for the 'profit' of private business as well as the destruction of american industry and labour.

Unless you're talking about the farmers who were ruined by NaFTA not going far enough, the idea that the working-class in Mexico were hurt by NAFTA is ridiculous.

Yeah, why are people against NAFTA? I truly don't understand that.

The most solid ground to attack it is the Mexican farmer suicides. Which is a direct responsibility of the protectionism the U.S. encourages with its outrageous corn farm subsidies. (And yes, I know the EU is just as much a villain in this respect)

Luckily, the TPP seems to undercut the Japanese corporate agribusiness a bit, which is very good because they are a terrible racket and quite surprising seeing as the LDP are in power at the moment.
