This is a bunch of meaningless slogans strung together in no coherent order.
But heres the deal. The first thing is these trade agreements (NAFTA, CAFTA) etc have destroyed our manufacturing base. They've sent good jobs overseas to Mexico, China, etc we've gotten nothing back.
There's no sea separating Mexico and the US!
Your point is nonsense of course, but even if the US "manufacturing base" was destroyed, so what? Sure some people will hurt in the short term, but why weep over the decline of a politically well-connected industry when the net benefit for everyone else is greater? As an economist would tell you, trade is a Kaldor-Hicks improvement, not a Pareto one.
Look at the countries included in the deal such as Malaysia, they lierally have slave labor yet were supposed to have the same economy and same production? Thats why I strongly disagree with the notion that we have to have a internationalized and globalized economy and government.
I don't know what this means. The entire reason trade makes sense is precisely because you don't have the "same economy and same production".
Also the TPP environmental regulations result in us doing business with countries that have literally no environmental protection. Thats not a fair deal at all, and all this just for a few corporate elites to make profit at the expense of the American people. If we do trade deals it should be nation by nation, not several countries at once. The WTO is also terrible as it pushes us into not a one world economy ruled by special interests, and has done nothing for America as we have no tariffs yet China, etc have massive ones. The future of these agreements is also global government, which is even admitted.
Look at how the European union was started through a trade deal. The EU has been horrible and these trade deals will eventually lead to that conclusion (actually they already are look at the merger of our economy and mexicos and the border being wide open!) were our soverigntry is shreded.
lol lay off the Alex Jones.
The future of America is were it always has been and thats in manufacturing, entrepreneurship, innovation, and industry. To sell out our workers for the hope of a better future is ridiculous, not to mention the fact that most of the TPP is private and involves corporate "tribunals". What this deal is, the TPP is like all other recent "free trade" deals a big F you to the American people.
One would imagine the future of America is indeed in innovation and industry, which is why trade agreements are a good thing. "Most of TPP is private"? What does this mean? And, as has been mentioned time and time again, the "corporate tribunals" [sic] are a part of almost every free trade agreement and are a perfectly good idea.
Please attempt to elaborate on these points because most of them are unclear.
