What’s Really Wrong with Obama’s Pacific Trade Deal

Last week’s government report on the economic impact of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) didn’t simply gut-punch the case for congressional passage of President Obama’s signature trade policy achievement. The study, mandated by Congress and issued by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), also strongly — if unintentionally — explained why the nation’s entire strategy toward the international economy is seriously off track.

The ITC’s headline projections hardly foresee economic disaster if the House and Senate approve the TPP. But they contrast strikingly with the economic bonanza promises of its backers, which include not only the executive branch but the major media, multinational corporations and Wall Street banks, and congressional Democrats and Republicans who front for them on Capitol Hill.
