10 Reasons Why You Should Oppose TPP and TTIP

Posted on | June 8, 2015 | 8 Comments

“8: The jobs and prosperity myth

As with NAFTA and every other pseudo-free trade agreement, there are many politicians, lobbyists, and think tanks making pie-in-the-sky claims that TPP and TTIP will usher in new prosperity and a wave of good-paying jobs. We’ve been there before. In 1993, the Peterson Institute for International Economics released its influential study, “NAFTA: An Assessment,” which predicted that “with NAFTA, U.S. exports to Mexico will continue to outstrip Mexican exports to the United States, leading to a U.S. trade surplus with Mexico of about $7 (billion) to $9 billion annually by 1995.” It also predicted that the U.S. trade surplus with Mexico would increase to $12 billion annually between 2000 and 2010. The actual result was quite different.

In 1993, the year before NAFTA went into effect, the United States had a $1.66 billion trade surplus with Mexico; by 1995, the first year after NAFTA had entered into force, that changed to a $15.8 billion deficit. By 2000, that annual deficit had soared to $24.5 billion, and by 2007 it hit $74.7 billion. For 2014, our trade deficit with Mexico dipped to only $53.8 billion. In 1993, the year before NAFTA, we imported around 225,000 cars and trucks from Mexico. By 2005, our imports of Mexican-made vehicles had tripled to 700,000 vehicles annually, and in 2012, Mexico’s export of vehicles to the United States surpassed 1.4 million. Chrysler, Ford, and GM transferred major production facilities (and jobs) from the United States to Mexico. Our trade deficits with Canada have followed a similar path since adoption of NAFTA.

The PIIE authors and other pseudo-free trade propagandists had cherry-picked data and simply invented statistics to fraudulently sell their product: NAFTA. If they were car salesmen, they would have gone to jail for fraud and misrepresentation. Instead, they are back doing the same thing, concocting rosy statistics to sell the TPP and TTIP.

9: The TPP and TTIP are corporatist schemes.

Unfortunately, some of the loudest critics on this score are notorious leftists who regularly parade against capitalism. Republican leaders have been able to use that fact as a reason to disregard the compelling evidence that these criticisms of TPP/TTIP are solidly based. First of all, it is important to note that in most cases the big, international mega-corporations long ago ceased to consider themselves American companies and also long ago ceased to favor free enterprise capitalism: They are corporate welfare drones, the masters of government bailouts, government loans, government subsidies, government contracts. They are little different from the giant State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) or “private” corporations owned by communist princelings and commissars in China and Russia.

This is especially evident in the lineup of globalist corporations behind the TPP/TTIP: Goldman Sachs, Boeing, Dow Chemical, Unilever, Chevron, Caterpillar, UPS, Walmart, Chase, Citi — and a bevy of Big Business coalitions: Global Business Dialogue, Business Roundtable, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Transatlantic Policy Network, Atlantic Council, and more. These are “crony capitalists,” not free enterprise capitalists; they prefer to use the power of government rather than innovation, risk, and excellence to prosper. Many of these corporations and associations have their representatives working directly with the TPP/TTIP negotiators, and they are the “cleared” elites that get privileged access to the documents you and I don’t get to see, and our elected representatives only access under extreme controls.” https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/21010-10-reasons-why-you-should-oppose-obamatrade

Yesterday I drove my car and changed channels on my radio. 90.1 in Orange county, Ca appeared to be one of PBS channels. They had a discussion on TPP and they were saying the same things that conservatives like Mark Levine, Rush Limbaugh, Roger Hedgecock  are saying: TPP and TTIP are treasonous agreements, which sell out our natural resources, our wages and jobs and our national security. They were saying the same things that I wrote on this web site time and again, that our Democracy is just a facade and the WH and Congress are a wholly owned subsidiary of a small band of billionaires running major corporations. Call every member of Congress, tell them that we will revolt and will kick them out of office if they vote for this secret treasonous deal. Stop sell out of America! Stop TPP and TIPP!!!

Update

I called my congressman, Dana Rohrbacher, at 714-960-4437 urging him to vote NO on TPP. Congressman did not make a decision yet as to how he will vote on this bill.

GOP Senators Rand Paul and Jeff Sessions are strong opponent of TPP and secrecy in it. They lobbied to unseal the provisions of TPP in order for the public to study it and urge their representatives to vote in accordance of the will of the people, of their constituency and not according to the will of a small gang of billionaires, who are pushing TPP and TIPP. Most of democrats oppose TPP as well. We have to lobby Republicans to vote NO. Call every GOP member of Congress, they are now siding with Obama on TPP, aka Obama-trade.

    Some of these people in Congress are either ignorant? or they have been conned to vote for the (Fast-Track)?

    And their excuse is: the Congress will be able to stop anything they think will cause America a real problem. So they voted for the fast-track!

    They seem easily conned?? Or do they feel forced to vote for this treasonous piece of trash?

    And I mean to point out that some of these people in Congress are (supposedly-?) conservative….

    They’re not looking past the B.S. to see what the real danger is…:

    It’s just another con, like NAFTA! And I’m betting that Boehner/McConnell had a lot to do with this???!

    Freshman GOP congresswoman Rep. Mimi Walters (R-CA)

    has been on television pushing Obamatrade—appearing Monday on Morning Joe on MSNBC to do so—but her office admits publicly

    she hasn’t read the bill

    she wants to fast-track through Congress.
