1. There a way to nullify these deals even if passed by crooked politicians . . .

But do we have the stomach for it?

2. We could "Buy American."

Stop shopping at Walmart, Honda, Apple, Dollar General, Lowes, HP...and we wouldn't have to march over piles of (American) corpses.

Nah - we don't have the stomach for that, either!

4. Not actually sure how far labeling restrictions are going to slither.

If we are not allowed to know where our food comes from, can labeling in general be far behind? I do believe that government contracts over a certain dollar amount MUST be let out to signatory countries, and I don't think anyone can attach a buy and hire American clause to anything.

Which makes one politician's quest for infrastructure rebuild, giving Americans jobs, kind of poignant. A Fast Tracked TPP with those restrictions will supersede anything meant to help Americans. IMO and all that.

6. Are you kidding?

How well has that worked for the last 30 years?

3. US Trade Rep Michael Froman is a former CitiBank exec.

Anyone surprised?
