After the NAFTA disaster and our trade agreement with Panama, why would we be willing compound the loss of living wage jobs, and accept real wage loss and poverty through no fault of our own?
We'd be "retrained." eBay and Amazon were held as paragons of virtue that would save us; that was our future, they said.
With TPP, jobs losses will be exponentially higher and we will be made to compete with someone in a 3rd world country for slave wages.
"Learn to code," they said, as if that will solve the problem. Our country is being further bled dry by corporate and Wall Street greed, but also by foreign workers issued visas so we can train them to replace us.
Mr. President, when do we start to count? And why are you willing to make TPP and the decimation of the middle class your legacy?
