In my view TPP really doesn't matter much because the barn door was opened with the original NAFTA agreements. For the life of me I will never understand why the Republican Congress combined with Bill Clinton ever set this in motion.

The ONLY thing America could possibly bring to the table was money, and ever since it has drained the wealth of America, and will continue to do so.

Clinton signed many of these laws just prior to leaving office and we'll never be able to recover. Clinton's hand was forced by the republicans because they had him by the balls.
