Based upon what he knows from second hand information. Real libertarian.Not going to believe your own lying eyes and ears @ 0:50, huh?Why are you inclined to LIE about what's been said then? In principle, trade agreements are a good thing. IF they don't become a tool for Economic Imperialism or regional internal reforms that have NOTHING to do with exchanging goods..
The whole mysterious TPP is a provocation of China. Which is the TARGET of TPP. They were locked out on purpose. And THAT'S why it can't be made public. Gary SHOULD have better instincts than to rely on 2 or 3 people who have advised him on it. Especially since the ONLY folks who KNOW what's in it -- are current govt and Admin members. But all he's said has been that "based on what he's been told, he'd be inclined to support it. But will RESERVE JUDGEMENT until he sees the details."...
Never said --- he'd sign it. Quit lying.. Just because you're an annoying anarchist who doesn't give a fuck about whether ANYTHING ever gets done right or at all.
GARY JOHNSON SAYS: "I WOULD SIGN THE TPP" » REGATED
He said he is a skeptic but, based on what he knows, he'd sign it. In other words, he would need to see what's in it (the devil is in the details, as he said).
There's a LOT folks getting paid to be talking heads on TV that have never seen a SINGLE PAGE of TPP --- and yet they are FAR more convinced than Johnson is. Too many people bluffing their way thru that issue.
Any agreement that needs to be read in a secure facility --- SHOULD be a red flag. But I'll imagine that there might be stock trading and investment reasons to not release details before it gathers a solid up or down consensus.
My hope is -- it will go public for REAL assessment months ahead of a Congressional vote. And if it's not signed by Obama -- it's chances of being implemented AS IS are probably Zero. Even with Johnson in office.
