Where the US might benefit from the TPP?

It might be in planes and automobiles?

If we recall, even as we were bailing out GM and the auto companies in 2009, they were making record profits overseas. Somehow, they separated their foreign profits from their American profits and got the huge bailout. The Asians like American-made cars. Perhaps moreso than Americans love the Kia and Volkswagen?

Also, except for Vietnam and maybe Indonesia, the other countries in the "agreement" have advanced economies. They could be good for Boeing. They could be new customers for American-made planes? These are big ticket items and add a lot to the bottom line.

Some of the countries may also want to buy fighter jets and military hardware from our country? That is a possibility. However, I have not read it so that is only a guess. But it could be a reason it is being kept hush-hush?

So, a few big companies with big-priced items may do very well with the agreement. But most companies would likely be looking for cheap labor in places like Vietnam and Indonesia and would cause a net loss of jobs, even as we had a net surplus in goods sold, such as planes and autos.

Just a possibility.
