TPP -- if this doesn't scare the crap out of you, nothing will. NAFTA ON STEROIDS

I think the government has been focusing our attention on the government shutdown
when all the while Congress has been working in total secret in back rooms getting
ready to pass a trade agreement that could turn America into just another 3rd world
country. You really need to read this article in the Nation. This scares the hell out of me.
What really worries me is that Obama is supporting it. Will the crap never end?

And it's also why people say they all work for the same people. We're going to get fucked again.
