Hillary May be Pretending to Oppose TPP Now, But Here Are 45 Times When She Publicly Supported it - thedailysheeple.com
Excerpt from this article:
"Hillary Clinton is so desperate to step into Bernie’s shoes and take
all the supporters he had now that she’s gotten him out of the way that
she will lie and say anything she thinks they want to hear… as if
everyone is just that stupid. At least, she seems to think everyone is that stupid. Take the
Trans-Pacific Partnership. Hillary publicly supported the TPP at least
45 times. Now that she knows how unpopular that is this election season,
she’s backpedaling big time."

Here are a couple of excerpts from the writings of Patrick Buchanan:
"Having passed historic legislation to make American factories the
fairest, cleanest, safest and finest place on earth for industrial
workers, liberals then turn around and backed free trade agreements that
say to U.S. manufacturers: "If you want to get out from under all these
liberal laws, if you want to be rid of those demanding U.S. workers and
unions, shut down your plant here, lay off your U.S. workers, move to
China, make your goods there, and export them, free of charge, back to the USA.
Pocket all the money you save and put it into executive bonuses and
laugh at us liberals on the slopes of Teluride and Vail." Day of Reckoning - How Hubris, Ideology and Greed Are Tearing America Apart, by Patrick Buchanan
"No
site better captures yesterday's America than Detroit, forge and
furnace of America's democracy. Detroit is the burned out case of
American cities. The Empire of the Sun has its revenge. Japanese imports
helped kill the city that built the weapons that destroyed the empire.
Now grandsons of the soldiers of the imperial army work at high paying
manufacturing jobs once held by the fathers of ten-dollar-an-hour
retail clerks in Macomb County.
"But why blame the
Japanese? We did it to ourselves. We Americans created a post war
trading regime, in which, over 25 years, Japan bought 400,000 American
cars while selling us 40 million Japanese cars, a ratio of 100:1. One
president after another sat still while a third of America's greatest
industry was shipped off to Japan...
"Americans no
longer make their own cameras, shoes, radios, TVs, toys. A fifth of our
steal, a third of our autos, half our machine tools, and two-thirds of
our textiles are made abroad...
"The decline and fall of Middle America was neither preordained nor inevitable. It was engineered in Washington D.C. Wages
have fallen and the standard of living of American families has
stagnated because of a basic law: the law of supply and demand. The
price of labor has been dropping because the supply of labor has
exploded...
"Having declared free trade and
open borders to be American policy, why are we surprised that corporate
executives padlocked their plants in the Rust Belt and moved over seas?
Why keep your plants here when you can manufacture at a fraction of
the cost abroad, ship your goods back, and pocket the windfall profits
that come from firing $20 an hour Americans and hiring
fifty-cent-an-hour Asians? A
pair of Nikes that sells for $150 in the United States costs $5 in
wages to make in Indonesia. Any wonder that Nike president Philip
Knight is the fifth richest man in America, with $5.2 billion, while
his Indonesian workers make 31 cents an hour?" (Emphasis mine)

Why Is Obama Visiting Nike To Promote His Trade Bill?
Why Is Obama Visiting Nike To Promote His Trade Bill? - nationalreview.com
Excerpt from this article:
"President Obama's big push for trade legislation that he says will boost American exports hits the road Thursday to Portland, Ore., en route to a multibillion-dollar sportswear giant that exports next to nothing. Nike made $12.4 billion in profits last year, thanks in large part to 1 million subcontracted workers at factories primarily in low-wage countries in Asia. For years, the company has faced allegations that a number of those factories use sweatshop conditions and illegally low wages to produce sneakers and clothes that Nike then sells in much wealthier countries. (emphasis mine)

Now ... Secretary of State Kerry presented evidence that a plan originating with the George W. Bush administration to evolve NAFTA into a European Union style confederation in North America between U.S. Canada and Mexico has been put into overdrive with the Obama Administration's Effort to obtain 'fast tract authority'' to rush the Trans-Pacic Partnership through Congress with limited debate."

This board has inside access - such as not even granted to members of Congress, much less the public - to the highly-secretive negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which promises to give powerful industry players more clout over global trade rights."
