8. Watching Bloomberg Business and it is Non-Stop...."TPP Good for the Country, Business, Global Trade"

Bloomberg's Peter Cook reported: "Even though Republicans are for the most part on board it will be important for President Obama's Legacy getting this through with so many Democrats objecting. He also said that Wyden went along even with tremendous pressure from protesters in Oregon because he thinks it will be good for Oregon's trade with the Pacific.

Not one mention that it's not a "TRADE DEAL" but a give away to Wall Street and Silicon Valley and a threat to our national sovereignty.
They claim the Petersen Foundation did the numbers about how good it would be for the country...but gave no other group who had run the numbers who shows that it isn't good for the country and since most of it is secret (which was not mentioned at all) the Bloomberg viewer is to just assume if the "Petersen Foundation" ran the numbers ....then it is good for the country.

Thanks for the Hightower article...I needed that after watching the Bloomberg Business Garbage. It was very revealing how this is being rammed down our throats and not only that..they showed Obama's Speech about the "Trade Agreement" that was reached and it was dreadful how he was hyping it. " The best Trade agreement in our lifetime"...he said. He mentioned "concerns over NAFTA that some think it cost us jobs" but continued that "...this Trade Agreement is vital to our keeping our nation competitive globally." Blah...Blah...
