Who said, “TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field.”
And who said this week, on the same subject, “as of today, I am not in favor of what I have learned about it.”
Yes, both statements were made by Hillary Clinton, and if nothing else has convinced you that our political system is utterly corrupt and totally divorced from the democratic process, this should do so. She should not for one minute believe that she can survive such blatant hypocrisy, and yet she not only believes it, she believes that it will advance her cause and, with the assistance of the media, it probably will.
I don't believe it has a level playing field, and I have my doubts about the rule of law, or more accurately the adherence to and enforcement of, the law. And I know nothing about it.
ReplyDeleteNo comment on the political process. Too depressing.
