does this make a bigger paycheck for the US worker - NAFTA did not, and our experience isn't good

PELOSI: The TPP? That's up to them, that depends on how fast they go. But I think they have to accelerate the pace. But again, let's take this to a bigger place. even the pope is talking about climate, and the poor. Those who thought people who didn't want trade agreements were Luddites have become Luddites. They're thinking business as usual, and we're saying there are various elements of concern about this. Some are from labor, some are from environmental groups, some are from the religious community who has lobbied us on this. But it all comes back to, does this make a bigger paycheck for the American worker. NAFTA did not, and our experience is not good. That was a long time ago when it passed, the president was in law school, but the impact now is being felt in many places.
