Documents: Obama trade nominee has $500,000 in Caymans

(CNN) – President Barack Obama's nominee to become U.S. trade representative has almost half a million dollars in an investment account registered in the Cayman Islands, according to disclosure documents submitted to the Senate committee preparing to weigh his confirmation this week.
Michael Froman, currently serving as Obama's deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, was nominated to the trade post last month.
The Iowa lawmaker pointed to two past Obama nominees – Lew and Pritzker – as more examples of what he said was hypocrisy. Lew and Pritzker both faced questions about their offshore accounts during confirmation hearings earlier this year.
Republicans have already begun to cry foul, saying Obama's choice of Froman – along with his selection of Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and Commerce Secretary-nominee Penny Pritzker – is hypocritical given his vilification of Mitt Romney's offshore accounts during the 2012 presidential campaign. (who said Obama does not like Jews, )

Now this smart Jewish Lady is anti trade and anti TPP. Michael Froman is really pushing this and Obama tried and failed, but he will try again.
We are not going to get jobs back here in the US, I hate to think Trump might be our only hope, since he
has brought up the trade problem. I think Bernie Sander is anti this free trade and unfair trade stuff as well.
Like Trump said , we do not want free trade, but fair trade , and we do not have fair trade. The wealthy want to live here, but they are not going to bring their plants back here, they need to pay more in taxes.
Please read about the TPP Trade Agreement. If you know all about it, please let us know, I only know it does not sound good.
