t's Official: US International Trade Commission Predicts Negligible Economic Benefits From TPP

No surprises here: worse trade deficits, global GDP growth of 0.3% by 2032 (LOL, really?) In other words no real economic value to speak of whatsoever. Worsening balance of power favoring corporations. What a joke

No votes or support for any politician who voted for Fast track, votes for the TPP and/or the TTIP, or who SHILLED and or SHILLS for these things.

And these things will hurt people all over the world, in various ugly ways, so this is not a one-issue thing.
