Fewer leaks of the contents, though we do know that the Europeans aren't happy with the investment chapter

Just no deals!

Let the existing order (the WTO and current trade deals) continue to govern international trade. 😉

because I don't know enough about trade with the Europeans as it stands now.

We are so dumbed down with the type of entertainment we're provided in this country. Movies/TV programs about killing or sex and hardly anything that educates us - not educates in the boring sense of most educational programs, but done by people who know their stuff, and how it affects us, and are interesting.

And CNN has let us down with their departure of 24-hour news. THey have many travel programs where if they had the sense and imagination, would incorporate something about trade with those countries and ours, and we could learn more without the "pain."

Am hoping for the best, and for the best to explain to voters what is really happening with TPP and the OP Partnership, rather than hiding this stuff from us.

I do not see these agreements as anything that really involves the United States, as a country, making agreements with other countries, so much as they are corporations and banks asserting their control over the countries involved.

All the flag-waving and China boogeymen don't really cover that up.
