Today's Meme: Hillary supports job-killing trade deals

[Cheese Sandwich]

Imports from China. NAFTA. WTO. She sold TPP around the world, calling it the gold standard.

Does anybody really believe she wouldn't sign the TPP as president?

These deals are not about trade. These are corporate governance agreements that put profit over people. Corporations are guaranteed the right to profit and people are guaranteed the right to starve.

These deals are anti-worker.
Anti-union.
Anti-environment.
Dangerous for consumers.
Harmful toward indigenous communities
And undermine people's struggles for democracy and liberation around the world.

Enough is enough.

When you're impacted by this, you know it. Factories sitting empty for decades. Rusting away in front of us. Millions of people pushed out of the workforce, not even counted as unemployed. A huge amount of structural unemployment. The tax base of our communities is destroyed and we have no money to repair our crumbling public infrastructure. Bridges close because there is no money to maintain them, and they just never reopen. No money for schools or public health. All the money is being vacuumed up by the top 1%.

We need new trade rules that put people over profit. That demand businesses create good paying jobs here at home, not dismantle and ship their assembly lines to China and Vietnam.

This has been today's meme. Thank's for listening.

1. Why wouldn't she sign something she called the "gold standard" of trade agreements? n/t

3. She's just conveniently against it during the election, and that's it.

A few minor tweaks and she'll be back on the TPP train.

5. it is basically HER TPP, and she championed it over and over:

7. She owns it.

It's clear as day she is against THIS version of the thing, just during the election.

2. America has always run on the Boom Town principal

With modern transportation and communication speeds the world is now a boom town for the thoughtless greedmiesters to ravage .In my opinion Bernie sees what happens when people like Hillary don't either care or are blind to anything outside of their narrow vision .

8. That may have worked at one time but like you it's not working now.

Thanks olddots

6. I had it all explained to me yesterday by a Hillary supporter

It's our workers that are screwing over even poorer workers in third world countries that need the jobs even more than we do (even at subsistence wages, it makes them a lot better off) and then we all get the benefit of being able to buy cheap crap.

No joke, that was his position on trade.

10. It's propping up a slave economy in some places.

In other places small farmers are being driven off their land and forced to look for work in factories. Basically just capitalism marching forward.
