TPP’s Biggest Winner: Big Pharma

Now that Fast Track has passed the hurdles of Congress, President Obama is absolutely giddy with excitement that his TPP trade deal might finally be happening. The best economists tell us that we’ll lose more jobs from this deal than we did from NAFTA and CAFTA, but that hasn’t stopped the President from telling us that this is the most progressive trade deal in history. The little information that has been leaked about the TPP tells us that the only groups to benefit will be corporations, specifically the drug industry.

Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio and attorney Howard Nations talk about that.

Irascible old Ross Perot was dead on about all this.

And yet we saw thread after thread a couple of days ago calling Obama the greatest president ever, the most progressive, etc.

So many people are oblivious to the non social issues part of the equation.

Obama is in bed with Wall Street but pay no mind. Amazing.

I bet I know who they'll be backing for president, and it won't be Sanders. It's nice to own the president.
