Right and now that we have bailed, those countries are now lobbying to have China join and of course, China is eager to take over the leadership role from the US and 'save' TPP.
Unfortunately, this means the rules for global commerce will increasingly be set by other nations -- not by the United States.
Had we been a part of the TPP, we weren't going to be setting the rules for it. It all gets controlled by a global tribune , made up by all the parties (corporations) in the TPP. And these decisions would supersede national sovereignty.
Those huge profits will go into the pockets of the already filthy-rich. Those profits will be made by exploiting the cheap labor and weak/corrupt governments of third world nations, while middle class Americans will get the shaft.
100% on point. America's success hasn't been shared with everyone. THIS IS WHY TRUMP GOT ELECTED
Nobody cares about his tax returns and exaggerations and everything from A to Z. The ONLY THING PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IS BETTER WEALTH DISTRIBUTION
I already addressed all of those points. Did you even read my posts?
Why should they expand here when they can go to a place where they can pay people less money and not have to comply with labor and environmental regulations?

I don't expect to change your mind. But it's clear that you support right-wing economic policies.
No I just dont see free trade as a lose-lose for the US.
The more I read this thread, the more convinced I am that the premise is correct.
When it comes to trade agreements like TPP, opposition groups cause states like California to be held back and indeed held hostage by the needs of less competitive states.
We are turning our backs on millions of customers and billions of dollars worth of goods and for what?
Modern leftists have got be the biggest morons ever to grace us. They whine about the environment and our ever shrinking planet and proceed to gas light populations into the idea that they should die out of existence. Then they support mass immigration because of falling populations.
Japan is at 870 per square mile. The US is at 85.45 per square mile. I think Japan at 10 times the population density is little to worry about. They certainly don't have to worry about ethnic tensions, race riots and affirmative action.
I am perfectly content with a stabilization of the population with moderate immigration . I don't want to import superstitious lunatics who tend to be good at raising large families and collecting welfare.
Leave. I support that. Not because I hate California.
The country has got too big and unwieldy. Politicians too controlling.
Leave. I hope it works out.
We should have a President of all the Blue states, and a President of all the Red states.
Warren and Trump.
