I wrote Sen Cantwell re. the TPP. She responded with jibberish.
Here is my response to her email:
Thank you for responding to my email re. the TPP.
With respect, your response was nothing more than carefully crafted rhetoric. You did not address how the TPP will help individuals. You say it will help industries and you say that those workers that lose their jobs to cheap labor overseas will be retrained.
How absurd is it to say that corporations will benefit and the TAXPAYERS will provide their own money (not money from the benefitting industries) to retrain workers. I ask you, what jobs will the displaced workers be retrained for?
You didn’t address all of the side issues that don’t pertain to trade like:
How the U.S. sovereignty will be undermined by giving corporations the right to challenge our laws before international tribunals.
How wages, benefits, and collective bargaining will be threatened.
Our ability to protect the environment will be undermined.
Our Food Safety Standards will be threatened.
Buy America laws could come to an end. Are you against “Buy American†laws?
Prescription drug prices will increase, access to life saving drugs will decrease, and the profits of drug companies will go up.
Wall Street would benefit at the expense of everyone else.
The TPP would reward authoritarian regimes like Vietnam that systematically violate human rights.
The TPP has no expiration date, making it virtually impossible to repeal.
And you forgot to discuss the Fast Track method that will essentially eliminate debate in the Senate.
I wonder if you work for the people of the State of Washington or the big corporations.
This is the second response from her on this subject. Sen Murray has also responded and has similar rhetoric.
For what good it does, keep the pressure on.

What is all that rambling on about???
What is "the TPP"??
Maybe if I know what the TPP is, it will all make sense?

It's what nadin always calls "TTP".

Oh hell yes. :cheersmate:

So this idiot posts the response but not what is being responded to? Much less the original message that started this chain of foolishness.
And what is posted looks like it was written in Wookie-Masters-Thesisish...
These people are illiterate!

I had no idea either, but I nadined the initials and the highest-ranking hits were for 'Trans-Pacific Partnership,' a multilateral trade agreement with most of the significant trading nations on the Pacific Rim.

I'm not sure why this particular DUmmtard has a boner for it, though, he was pretty vague about that.

Well with "Trans" and "Pacific" in the wording maybe it thought it was getting something distinctly Japanese pRon in nature?

I knew what it was and DUmmies are always against trade agreements. This time, I am too. Obama's regime has been doing much of the negotiations in secret.
Obama is also asking for fast track negotiating authority. That should set off alarm bells since very little Obama does benefits the US.
OTOH, a lot of the current gop favors TPP, which also gives me pause considering how they act lately.

Never a good sign, especially with that particular gang of dilettantes, poseurs, and looters. It generally means it will ultimately screw everyone except some particularly important Democrat donor clique or, less often, voting bloc.

My guess is that it's one of Libs' and Progs' bigger bogeymen, "offshoring".
