And yet you don't even know what is in kt.

Your orange god says kill it & you jump up & down chanting " Kill it" "Kill it"

 

[RealDave]

Trump doesn't know what is in it.

 

[RealDave]

'Farmers LOVE TTP'?

Farmers and Ranchers to Congress: Reject the TPP!

The ignorant, uninformed Trump supporting ones?

 

[owebo]

Trump doesn't know what is in it.

It's dead....thank god for America.....

 

[Iceweasel]

Do we HAVE to feed city folks?

The elites live in the cities. So yes you do, that is why you work and have a job.

Perfect answer, describes liberals perfectly. They grow the food, you make the laws.

I think agricultural exporters should be wary of PTT's provision to let non-US agencies decide it they get too much govt welfare to avoid tariffs.

It is no secret that the rural vote helped Trump win. Farmers. Farmers voted for Trump. Farmers love NAFTA & Farmers want the TPP (as it is expected to add billions in business to farmers).

Do you actually have anything other than your own opinion to support any of this?

Something like THIS:

TPP: An Outrage for Family Farmers & Our Food – Farm Aid


"A nightmare for food safety
The TPP includes first-of-its-kind language allowing corporations to challenge U.S. food inspection protocols and decisions. Consumer advocates warn the TPP could quell efforts to keep out unsafe foods that don’t meet the same standards U.S. farmers and ranchers are required to meet.

Good for meatpackers, bad for ranchers
Under the TPP, the origin of beef is wherever the animal is slaughtered. So if it’s grown in America, but slaughtered in Japan, it’s Japanese beef. That reduces U.S. ranchers to anonymous widgets in the global supply chain, and makes it impossible for us to know if we’re really supporting American farmers when we shop at the grocery store. The TPP will also weaken health and safety standards regarding meatpacking plant inspections, livestock diseases, and food safety protocols to facilitate imports from countries lacking the resources to meet the high standards U.S. ranchers must reach."

How many ranchers slaughter their own cattle?

I mean really, can you get more ridiculous?

And the TPP allows the US to challenge regulations on other countries. Leveling the playing field so some countries don't ban US products.

In really, how many local small farmers export? Wouldn't they prefer the big agricultural companies export their crops rather than compete with them in local markets?

Again, a totally ridiculous argument.

Some specialize in organically fed and no steroid/antibiotic meats, so yes, they do have an export market.

The TPP might be dead but negotiating a fair agreement isn't dead.

obama the America hater had his bony fingers in TPP. Automatically you know it's the worst possible agreement for the US. Start again, without little o.

It is no secret that the rural vote helped Trump win. Farmers. Farmers voted for Trump.

Farmers love NAFTA & Farmers want the TPP (as it is expected to add billions in business to farmers).

Donald has promised to end the TPP on day one & railed against NAFTA.

So Mr Greenjeans, grab that Vasoline & bend over because you got what you voted for.

Everyone can bend over except for the billionaires. They are the only ones who will benefit from a Trump presidency. Just look at his cabinet appointments. They are all establishment billionaires and no, this isn't a strategy from the "Art of the Deal".

And the TPP would open new markets.

Would you rather the cabinet was composed of only failures?

In other words they were wildly successful in the private sector, as opposed to living off the public teat. But we've been living your scenario for 8 years. Hard to do worse.

They were wildly successful taking bailout money, foreclosing on homes and bilking seniors out of their retirement. Socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor. Yeeee hawww!

It will be composed of failures. These guys went bankrupt and then took bailout money that came from your paycheck and now they're looking screw you again. I admire your optimism, however
