Well from what I have read, the manufacturing jobs will disappear, as Americans will be forced to compete with low wages in Asian countries, and the TPP will make it easier for factories to relocate and sack their workers.I've been against Free Trade since it's inception.................Since NAFTA and the deals with the WTO under Bush as well.............
That has never changed and for nearly 2 decades I've been arguing against both sides of this equation irregardless of party...........
I've always said don't fix something if it isn't broken...............The way we handled trade deals with foreign countries with the ratification on the Senate worked for over 200 years, so why the need for the change................
Of course those against me site fluctuations over time to show it not working, but on average it did work............
Trade agreements with countries that offer the american people no financial incentives to give them free trade, aka they don't have no freaking money anyway, can only drain currency circulation in our country................It puts money there instead of here, and lines the pockets of corporations who have left this country for lower labor costs and regulations.....................In the past, before all of the Free Trade they could expect tariffs on their products coming back in making it less desirable to leave, thus hopefully saving jobs here.............
The flip side is our products will cost more here as a result................but the loss of jobs make that immaterial when the wage standards here aren't higher due to better paying manufacturing jobs.
