The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a trade deal that would make it easier for American companies to sell their goods and services in Pacific Rim countries. The deal will benefit American service companies who will be able to open up operations in Asian and South American countries. Opponents argue that this bill will incentivize US companies to move service and manufacturing jobs overseas. Proponents argue that it would make American companies more successful at selling their goods and services in Pacific Rim countries, leading to a stronger economy, more jobs and higher incomes for American workers.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
No, there are too many hidden provisions in this specific agreement
@9GFX6HR6mos6MO
The agreement would have lowered tariffs and other trade barriers among Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
No, this will incentivize companies to move jobs out of the country
@9FP7WDGWomen’s Equality7mos7MO
it has no enforceable labor or environmental requirements. It has no currency provisions and no sunset provisions to encourage our trading partners to give us better treatment in the future.
@ISIDEWITH9yrs9Y
Regardless, much more care needs to be taken with intellectual property internationally.
Not until it’s renegotiated to better protect workers and the environment

Although companies may seek financial, economic, and business opportunities further abroad, this could further economic growth and trade among every country included in the Partnership; however, down this path lurks countless dragons, not only in potential crises worldwide, but also in potential "new Great Depressions". While professional ecconomists assume that this will not mean anything for the United States, as even the original "Black Days" of the Great Depression only provided exponential growth in its advancement (as always so far), this will start out as a problem for the rest of the TPP, and will near-definitely affect the United States as back-and-forth cat-and-mouse trade only continues to intensify.

No, and we need to establish fair trade & alter-globalization policies
@9DCJCKW 8mos8MO
Not enough knowledge to have an opinion
@9DB68VS8mos8MO
Yes, it will be a good step towards setting up a unified pro-America bloc in the Indo-Pacific.
@9DB3QRF8mos8MO
I would, but there too many hidden provisions in this bill and could be harmful to workers
@9D8G35C9mos9MO
What is the Trans-Pacific Partership?
@9D823539mos9MO
it i'snt needed right now so it should wait until major issues are resolved
@9D7HMDY9mos9MO
Yes, but I believe we should prioritize jobs in-country.
@9D6V9389mos9MO
Not fully up on this. Need to check into it before I could answer honestly
No, create a single global trade union via the U.N.
@9D57YLG9mos9MO
No, US should have unilateral free trade agreements, not multinational agreements.
@9D46LLB9mos9MO
No, Complete Autarky Is The Only Economic Model I Will Accept
Deleted9mos9MO
No, the U.S. should enter a global trade union through the U.N.
Deleted9mos9MO
No, there should be a globalized trade partnership via the U.N. to provide growth for all of humanity
@9CLXBXZ10mos10MO
Yes, but we should restrict the outsourcing of jobs.
@9CL2LYW10mos10MO
Yes, but more specifics added
@9BZ4LFS11mos11MO
No, and we should limit foreign involvement
@9BWMNPHIndependent12mos12MO
I don't support them but i'm not against them either.
@9BTPYWK12mos12MO
Yes, but it should be extended to other countries to help everyone reap benefits instead of just specific companies
@9BTNR9312mos12MO
@9BT8RG812mos12MO
Renegotiate the Deal, there are too many factors that move jobs out of the country. Make it a Unilateral Free Trade agreement.
@9BPR8CTIndependent12mos12MO
Yes, but it should bar companies from being allowed to move their operation over seas for cheaper labor putting their employees out of work.
@9BP48HM12mos12MO
no I am not informed enough to make this decision
No, these types of deals hurt domestic manufacturing and cause hard-working americans to have their jobs shipped overseas
@9BM2XWK12mos12MO
not clue what that is or means
@9BHP2QM1yr1Y
No, we should negotiate with countries individually
@soldieroffortune1yr1Y
Yes, but renegotiate the treaty to include better protections for American workers.
@9BC2V6R1yr1Y
Yes, but incentivize companies to stay in the US
@9545NZZ1yr1Y
yes if it involves work protections for the american worker.
@9B6W5K81yr1Y
Don't really know anything about this
@99ZGGFH1yr1Y
Yes, but a systems of checks and balances must be set to ensure companies don't outsource vast amounts of employment outside of our country
@99XMY3T1yr1Y
No, this is likely to lead to a form of neo-imperialism
@99SKF6LLibertarian1yr1Y
Yes, but unilateral free trade would be best
@Kevin-Brown-JR1yr1Y
Yes I support some of the provisions of the transpacific partnership, but not all.
@99R2SLB1yr1Y
