Something about a "one way street that benefits only US corporations". Similar noises coming out of Germany. Of course, both countries are gearing up far an election cycle.

It seems like big trade deals are on life-support now.
There are too many chicken politicians, and too many angry voters, to think that huge deals are going to have an easy time of it. Is that a good thing? I dunno. Cheers, Scott. (Who thinks that "free trade" is a misnomer, but also thinks that trade is important. And also that ways need to be found to keep people working in developed countries.) |

Here's a trade agreement problem that I wasn't aware of.
HufPo: Super Court That We’re Not Talking About There are ways to rip off the public if you've got money and lawyers. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

But what's good for Wall Street is good for America, no?
