2. TPP - is this what Democrats think is best for the nation? Really?

India is getting expensive, China is flexing military power.

All this progress in Asia is paid for by your jobs and the fact that those with jobs haven't had a real raise since the 1970s.

India and China also have some of worst human rights records on planet. That's something that goes hand-in-hand with globalization.

Vietnam is now the communist greenfield for exploited labor. $0.25 on the dollar compared to India.

Meanwhile, we are cutting teacher pay, torturing students with bullshit testing and blaming both groups for not "keeping up" with Asia. Translated this means keeping up with depressed wages and zero worker rights and protections,

All of this while CEOs make $40,000,000 a year - sucking value out of the nation.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHEN THEY ARE SETTING STAGE FOR NEXT RECESSION AND BAIL_OUT~?!
