If "we" buy our clothes from Vietnam "we" get the clothes (that will only last a few years, if that) and they get the money.

If "we" buy our clothes from North Carolina "we" get the clothes AND the money


What did these "free traders" think the people of the US would DO when the manufacturing jobs were sold out? Serve hamburgers? Maybe our laundry can be shifted somewhere.

A prophetic interview with Sir James Goldsmith in 1994 Pt1


In this interview, Sir Goldsmith discusses the ramifications of free-trade agreements that were about to take place in 1994 (GATT), as you can retrospectively see, he correctly predicted many of the things that happened after that.

How is Grayson these days? Don't see as much. He's as sharp as ever for sure.

Now ask yourself why is President Obama pushing for TPP ????

Is he ignorant on the subject ????

Is he uninformed on the subject ????

Is he being forced to shove the TPP down the throats of Americans by the 'powers that be' ???

Does he know exactly what the TPP is, and he endorses it fully ?????????

I don't think president Obama is ignorant.

I think he fully supports the TPP.

Why would a president fully support something that will harm the country he was elected to represent ????

Is the Democratic president employing the same tactics as the Republican Tea Party; IGNORING FACTS ????
