Free trade on steroids

Posted by G.A. Matiasz on February 20, 2014

That’s what the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is. Here’s a graphic that summarizes the issues and problems with the TPP.

I love information in graphic form. This particular chart is provided by 350.org. The negotiations for the TPP by the Obama Administration are so secret that Congress has not been privy to them, and if select members are, they have been sworn to secrecy, as these articles make clear. The Obama Administration hopes to fast track the vote on the TPP, to avoid embarrassing questions and opposition from both Congress and the American people.

Stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership!
