Kerry Advocates Pacific Trade Deal



I do not what Kerry is smoking stating that it will cost the economy $94 billion dollars. Any study that I have seen shows it have little economic impact and devastate the manufacturing jobs.

Rule to Mr. Kerry: Just keep things the same. We do not need TPP. No more free trade deals period. Just keep the status quo is better than passing that BS rule.

Yeah, it might bring more jobs to where I live (Southern California) but otherwise, its will have a negative impact on the rest of the country

for well over a year (maybe two, maybe longer, can't remember when I read the first article talking about the secret international negotiations) and it's no surprise at all that Kerry is on board. Or a surprise that any other dominant member of the Democratic party is on board, for that matter. I would vote for Bernie solely based on the fact that he has stated he will not sign that deal into law. (Of course there are many, many other reasons to vote for him.) Hillary has not stated she will not sign that deal into law. Her "anti-TPP" comments have been very equivocal - carefully stated as to not come back to haunt her when she signs.

TPP is proof of this.

Southern Cal may be in a wolrd of hurt also. China movie industry is to overtake Hollywood and dominate the industry in perhaps as little as 3 years.

Every single world out of his mouth was a bold-faced lie. Every word! Every. Single. Word.
What he needs to be doing is figuring out how to help all the Serian refugees (over a million of them) stranded over there in the fields of Europe's outer skirts. Don't talk to us about trade agreements, John Kerry. We've learned what happens with these new world order trade agreements, WITHOUT OUR CONSENT! Who asked the American people back in GHWB's latter term and Bill Clinton's early term, whether we would go along with NAFTA and CAFTA and the rest? No one. Yuz shoved them down our throats and here we are 23 years later and you're trying to do it again. We've had enough of your new world order, Sir. We need some stability. Some decent paying jobs so we can raise our kids and put them through college. So WE can have some of the American Dream. So we can give our kids a better life than this GD mess we find ourselves in now. Don't get me started.

Establishment Democrats promoting a trade deal that gives global corporations the power to undermine local, state and federal laws that protect the public's welfare and the environment...

At least it relieves our 11% approval congress from having to be identified with fracking bills etc, because the corporate tribunals with do the dirty work for them.. All cleverly staged behind the curtain...

Our founding fathers would've considered this tyranny!
