The Trans Pacific Plan.
The President came out last week for the TPP. (No surprise there - he has been one of the major architects of getting it passed, and of getting it passed quickly.)
But then this week he is all about ending the human equation side of Global Climate Change?
What a bit of forked tongue tomfoolery!
Has no one explained to him that when American jobs in manufacturing go over to third world nations, those third world workers do not have any environmental regulations in place? (This is one of the cost saving reasons that America's One Percent so highly favor basing our needed manufacturing in those third world nations.)
Anyway, I suspect the Great Speechifier knows all of this full well, but he wants that Quid Pro Quo.

(23,867 posts)We have a huge dilemma. It's the result of obtaining our global size, and now needing the energy (and resources) maintaining that size.
To simply maintain who and what we are means contributing to climate change. No amount of engineering can help that either. Greenwashing is just that, a fractional change that doesn't amount to enough to be meaningful. This is the inconvenient truth that both liberals and conservatives alike refuse to see and discuss.
TPP or no TPP.
