Sen Sanders Says No to TPP – Why Do Conservatives Say Yes?

The Trans-Pacific Partnership, currently being written by major international corporations, appears to be very damaging to the 99%.  Parts have been revealed to Congress and parts have been leaked.  The majority, most likely the worst parts, have been kept secret. The President and the Oligarchy want to Fast Track this so-called "agreement" thru the Senate without allowing debate.  Here are a few of Senator Bernie Sanders concerns:

1. TPP will allow corporations to outsource even more jobs overseas.

2. U.S. sovereignty will be undermined by giving corporations the right to challenge our laws before international tribunals.       

 3. Wages, benefits, and collective bargaining will be threatened.    

4. Our ability to protect the environment will be undermined.

5. Food Safety Standards will be threatened.    

6. Buy America laws could come to an end.      

7. Prescription drug prices will increase, access to life saving drugs will decrease, and the profits of drug companies will go up.        

8. Wall Street would benefit at the expense of everyone else.           

9. The TPP would reward authoritarian regimes like Vietnam that systematically violate human rights.           

10. The TPP has no expiration date, making it virtually impossible to repeal.
