freedom isn't free.

Don't buy the faulty mortgages and sell them back to the people like FDR did in the 1930s

Pay off all the Foreign Investors with American Worker's taxes

American investors will also be able to be paid off with foreign workers' taxes.

you." Compared to a lot of these countries, even folks on the low end here are the 1%ers.

We can't fulfill our commitments to the world. We need to counter China and India, or things won't get a bit better here in the USA. And, quiet frankly, it's a global world, and we better learn how to participate as if we are all in this together.

Why the heck do you think he's wrong?

"We can't fulfill our commitments to the world. We need to counter China and India, or things won't get a bit better here in the USA. And, quit frankly, it's a global world, and we better learn how to participate as if we are all in this together. "

this may be the case but there's nothing saying that the tpp will do this and surely there is more than one solution. perhaps one that doesn't involve mostly lobbyists and corporations, domestic and foreign, who tell our president not to tell anyone about the details.
we've done a few of these and im sure the wealthy make out but what I see from where I am is that they depress wages, export jobs, allow other countries to use child labor and rape the environment. potus says there is language to address those issues but I don't trust our government to enforce them
it's a global world but I don't want it run by corporations and this deal allows corporations to sue the u.s. over what it perceives to be unfair advantages.

of course we don't know what's really in it because we , the serfs living under the edict , aren't allowed to see it - in it's entirety

foreign companies to sue the USA over what it perceives as "unfair advantages." The rest of your post is mostly wrong too.

LOL

Fuck him and his ilk.

Worse, lecturing us with vague nonsense about "Larry Summers"?

People still listen to this hack?

I'm a-skairt!

and the boogeyman is in the closet!

...or the violence begins...

the uninformed public shake in their boots. We are so, so screwed.

This is like a particularly bad parody of The Usual Suspects

Your views on trade and development are to be taken no more seriously than your views on a woman's capacity to learn math or science.

Free trade has made a fine mess of things. Just crawl back into your hole on Wall Street and STFU.

Go away already Summers. No one wants to hear from you.

actually. Arrogant buffoon-

support the UN more

you couldn't have asked for a clearer sign

by this point in time everyone should be well aware that when Larry Summers steps into the picture someone is about to get robbed, and it's probably you

Republicans like it
Paul Ryan lurves it
and Larry Summers wants to hug it

WTF else do we really need to know?

... who spews such indefensible bullshit just to hear his head rattle. Guess he never got the memo that no one capable of critical thought affords him a molecule of credibility.

Infuriating, but then again therapeutic in a way; I love seeing a plutocrat scorned.

These people have no shame.

Neither do their shills.

About Larry Summers:

From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Summers

to see what's in the bag. What's in the bag, Larry? WE just want to know what you're hiding. YOU just want us to "sign before reading". Everything else is b.s.

Sure, Democrats would be held accountable. Since trade is complicated, and hard to explain.

From link:

The .01%ers? I don't trust Larry Summers as far as I can throw him.

Ah....I see...it's the old, time tested

BOO!

Hey Larry...let all of America see what's in this veiled 12 nation (I never knew a number) "pact" and we'll think about safety.

Other than that...STFU.

a certain memo comes to mind when L. Summers is mentioned..

And the CROOKS at the top are the ones that are the ones that are screwing us in the world standing.

They deserve to be prosecuted, sent to prison, and put in solitary there for the rest of their lives!!

Angola 3 treatment for the real crooks and killers of all life on earth by diverting us from combatting climate change!

Remember a comment from old Larry about his distaste of the Labor Unions,something to the line of,if you think you need a Union,then your a lazy bum. This turd is 100% anti worker,and don't let him even try to fool you. What a Dirtbag.

who, as president of the World Bank, told conferees on landfill concerns, that Africa should be considered as a dumping ground because it's "underpolluted."
Having this freak as an initial Obama team player was a bad sign for what has followed.

Shut up, Summers!

all over the planet. These "trade" agreements only formalize things. If they don't get their way through bogus negotiation, they'll just up the ante in rape and pillage...

"It will be a more dangerous world if the United States shows itself again unable to participate in international organizations in a full way and unwilling to support global trade agreements that it initiated," the former economic advisor to President Barack Obama told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."

Lets take a closer look at the above remarks from a corporatists and we will go back and start at Ronald Reagan (and please note this a bi-partisan effort sell job) -------------and Larry Summers was in the oval office doing what at the time----------selling greed and now he's selling fear----------that is absolutely outrageous-----------maybe he should go up into the Taconite / Iron Ore mines in MN and see what dumping is doing to the mines up there, and just maybe he should ask if your going to build a product out of steel------------would you not like to have that product coming from your own country--------------call me a protectionist-----------I don't care---------because I am:

Instead of Fast track and the up or down vote on a giant trade deal that screws the American people, we thank Congress for looking out for our interests for once, and encourage them to submit the trade deal for amendments one chapter at a time.

Summers is all worried about our "leadership" of the world.

Our government couldn't even lead a Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Who are we fooling? America has never been and never has supposed to have been about "leading the world" in military or economic affairs. We're supposed to provide our citizens with a refuge from the corruption and special interest influence of the rest of the world.

NO larry - corporations initiated IT and we the American people have had enough -

Does Larry have knowledge of the working parts of the TPP? - nobody else does....

larry you had your day screwing the US and the American people...take a hike!

From a WOMAN who learned math and science....

This nasty fuck is held in high regard in Democratic circles? Makes me want to puke!

.. if Summers likes it, it MUST be a total piece of crap.

.

Lions and Tigers and Bears?!?!??!!??? (hat tip to Wizard of Oz)

"Nice economy you've got there. Shame if anything should happen to it."

If we don't pass the TPP right freaking NOW, my stock portfolio will suffer, I mean, the 12 TPP countries will go to war with each other!!!!! I mean, if multinational corporations can't run the show in these countries I mean, CHINA!!!!! They're building port facilities in Colombo, SriLanka DONCHA KNOW???!!! How the hell are we gonna contain Red Freaking Communist China if we don't pass the TPP?????? China MUST be stopped, goddammit, even if it means total corporate takeover of all 12 TPP countries!!!!!!
