Yeah, we'll hear from the protectionists that anyone how hates taxes is a traitor, but it this is important folks! I mean, do you ever see me calling names and attacking first?

I wish we lived in a world where our elected represenatives made choices that were for the good of America rather than their own pocketbooks and that of their fellow cronies. Everything is for the cause of greed now.

Good Morning profit takers!   After yesterday's almost 2% stock gain in fading volume futures now see more fading in prices -0.21%.  Metals are seen up tho, +0.32% and trading upwards nicely (gold and silver @ $1,138.60 and $15.74).  Trade Balance report comes out today, it's been falling lately (bigger deficit) which historically points to a growing economy.

Yeah it’s so great and that’s why they have to hide it from the public.

Trans-Pacific Partnership Deal Faces Populist Backlash

Does ANYONE believe those bastards in DC still follow the wishes of the people, when there's millions in bribes to be collected?

[P-Marlowe]

Explain to me in the light of the fact that this is Obama's deal how it can possibly be good for the United States?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Trump appears to be the only GOP candidate who is likely to oppose this deal.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I think the concept of a TPP is fine, and the countries involved are fine. It's just that with the secrets being kept, no one knows what is actually being agreed to. There is no way the Chamber of Cronies wants a proper result like abolition of all tariffs between the partners - they want to manipulate tariff schemes to benefit their own interests and punish their competitors.

The sad thing is, the TPP could be a great example of a real free trade agreement with genuinely free trade between the partners. But we can be certain that isn't what we are going to be getting.

Is IBD unaware that the fix is in, or are they in on it?
