“I’m a real skeptic when it comes to these trade agreements, that in fact they can be laden with crony capitalism, but based on people that have been advising me that I hold in very high esteem, I’m being told that the TPP would in fact advance free trade and so I would support that document,” Johnson said.
I'm for the TPP and plan on voting for Johnson. I've never voted for a liberal in my life, but we're all peas in a pod... Lol
Tariffs and protectionism do not work. Make the markets as free as possible. Yes the big corporations will have the most to gain, but it will effect the ability for small businesses to move into these countries as well.
Trump speaks out of both sides of his mouth, on one side he wants other countries to open their markets to the US, but he wants to close our markets to them. Sorry, that's not going to happen. The TPP is not perfect, but it's better then the market restrictions that exist now, and I don't believe Trump can negotiate better deals.
Which is why I am not really very excited about Gary Johnson. The only person whom I like is Ron Paul.
RON PAUL: These other items are big items for special interest groups... they will deal with wages, unions, environmentalism, human rights, you can think of all the cans of worms they'll open with that.
And it is going to be a big boost for world government, that is a big reason to be opposed to it, they are moving us rapidly to a huge increase in big government and world government.
At the same time it is a Constituional issue. I have always voted against fast track.
The principle is very simple, Congress has the responsiblity to regulate international commerce, that authority is given to the Congress.
Ron Paul is against the so called "free" trade. Gary Johnson is too much of an idealist.

So if a corporation sues democratically elected governments that might reduce future profits, its just great? To hell with clean air or worker's rights? Unless you are a billion dollar corporation, why do you think this is so great? Its a push towards private tyranny and pure fascism.
Making sure that our elected officials are not sued because they represent their constituents is now "tariffs and protectionism"?

Clinton does not support TPP. Maybe she really does, but her official position is no on it. Johnson is right though. It's a good deal for the US vis-à-vis China and it should be passed. I gotta hand it to him for standing up for what is correct in the face of so much ignorance and misinformation being peddled about it.
Yes she does. No one believes her current spin. She doesn't even say she is against it. She says "as it's currently written". That is meaningless. Yes she will likely re write it to give even more of the country away to Wall Street.
