Still learning about TPA/TPP
I do find it interesting that India and China are the biggest drain on USA jobs and are not included in either of these agreements.
I find the India/ China angle interesting as well.
The biggest drain on American jobs are American leftists.
Think of it this way.
The TPA (rules of passing trade agreements, agreements, treaties, etc...) just cut the debate time in congress to ONLY 60 days from unlimited time. Congress did this in order to RAM through Obama-Trade legislation before anyone has enough time to vet it out. That way the congress along with the controlled media can call anyone “conspiracy theorist” for being “skeptical” as our Founding Fathers encouraged us to be about any new draconian trade legislation/agreements.
It also lowered the vote threshold in congress to pass a trade agreement, agreement, treaty, etc...to 51% from 2/3rds that had been in our country for over 200 years. Bottom line this makes it easier to BRIBE CONGRESS since it requires less people to bribe.
Cruz, Boehner and McConnell were more than orgasmiclly excited to give the Administration even more power. This is even though last November the Republicans were elected to stop the Administration. Now the MAJORITY OF THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS have showed their true colors.
When you hear the words “Free Trade” today think this means the United States IS THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT PAYS TARIFFS while the countries DO NOT PAY TARIFFS.
It’s just like in the book 1984 where they “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength”. Everything is turn on its head. It’s the opposite of what it says. For instance, the “Affordable Care Act” (aka Obamacare) is anything but affordable. The “Patriot Act” that was used to illegally target all Americans, instead of real terrorist via the NSA scandal, is anything but patriotic. We were lied too and no one went to prison. It’s all a giant scam.
Anyhow, the Trans Pacific Partnership (aka the TPP) is a trade agreement that is being hidden from the public. How is that for transparency? Although parts of it has been leaking out.
The TPP will ENCOURAGE COMPANIES TO LEAVE the United States. That way they can avoid paying Tariffs, have less regulation, less taxes and a cheaper slave labor. If companies want to stay here, will still have to pay Tariffs, taxed and regulated out of business. Just as Obama promised to do to the Coal industry.
Think about it this way. During the second world war our main attack was on German industry, factories, energy companies, etc. THAT.... is what is slowly happening to the United States today. These are completely rigged trade deals (since we pay tariffs and the countries we have agreements with do not) that has been eroding our Republic since 1996.
Think of it this way too. Prior to NAFTA in 1996 we were the World’s ONLY true Super Power. We had been that way for 50 years since World War II. That’s was also before we had any of these rigged trade agreements. The country ran just fine. We had our issues, but it was not like this now.
Oh the trade is only a small part of the TPP. There is additional draconian legislation where foreign communist countries will have more power than our congress. So expect carbon taxes and a gun legislation via the trade bill. This is the stealth way the Administration gets around congress, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
This is why Obama was pushing so hard for this, and the Republicans like Boehner, McConnell and Cruz were more than happy to help him instead of blocking.
This is horrible for the United States, but many of these Republicans are going to keep trying to bamboozle the gullible American public.
