TPP Will Cause A New Economic Disaster

Trade deals cost money. The TPP that is barreling its way through the corridors of Washington is going to be expensive to implement, and even more expensive once it starts taking its toll on the U.S. economy.

Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

It'll be disaster only for those on the receiving end. The promulgators surely have situated themselves so that it will not be a disaster for them.
Turns out that other countries also have the same "leaders" whose covert allegiance is not to the country they represent (flag pins and lip service aside), but only to wealth and power.

Immediate rewards for themselves, or to immerse themselves in do-gooder-ism by using the US working class as cannon fodder to develop the 3rd world....said do-gooders being insulated from the ill effects of rent seeking abroad by being of financial means enough not to give a shit about the 99 percent.
