Rubio on Obamatrade Soveriengty Killing Trade Deal


Rubio has come out lately, making passing remarks in regards to the TPP (Trans-Pacific-Partnership):

In a CNBC interview with John Hardwood, Rubio expressed his “very positive” view about Obamatrade. Neither Hardwood nor Rubio, however, mentioned Rubio’s pivotal role in helping to pass the agreement. Nor did Hardwood or Rubio mention that the Florida Senator even enshrined the passage of the President’s global economic integration plan as one of the three “pillars” of his foreign policy platform in both an April op-ed in The Wall Street Journal and a foreign policy address in May of this year.

Critics, however, contend that these trade deals leave barriers in place to U.S. goods while flooding America’s markets with cheap foreign imports. As former Nucor Steel Chairman Daniel DiMicco has argued, “The Wall Street Republican and Democrat ‘free traders’ are not pursuing free trade at all.” Rather, by “convinc[ing] themselves that foreign mercantilism is irrelevant and the basic trade principle of reciprocity can be ignored… They are practicing ‘mercantilism enabling’ trade,” and are, “promot[ing] unilateral American trade disarmament.”

While Rubio failed to show up in the Senate to vote against Majority Leader McConnell’s bill fully funding Planned Parenthood, Rubio was on hand to provide the all-important 60th vote for Obamatrade’s fast-track.

So Rubio wanted this TPP agreement so badly, an agreement all conservative experts lament is another hammer in the American workers coffin, he actually showed up to make that 60th vote needed.  Rubio cared nothing about Planned Parenthood.  Maybe there is a reason Trump is trumping all over Rubio.  Rubio is an establishment guy, he is being offered the American presidency from those donors who are big corporate guys (that is who benefits from this TPP agreement) all he has to do is sell his soul, turn his back on the American middle class working man, and make sure that legislation that Obama loves-makes it through.

Leo Hindery, Jr, former CEO at ATT, a man who knows about how this TPP will work:

I fear we have almost an obsession with trade agreements… This refusal by many to acknowledge the mercantilist policies of our trading competitors has gone, it seems to me, from promoting healthy trading relationships to an ideology, even to the nature of a religion… Capital is mobile. But workers, many times, are not. So when a company closes its plant in the United States, and shifts production to a lower-wage country, the company may make more money but the workers, and their communities—who cannot move overseas—suddenly don’t have jobs. They are hurt. The United States is a country—not an economy. And a country’s job is to protect its citizens—whether from military attacks, or from unfair trade policies that threaten the economic well-being of its own people.

Obama’s 2011 trade deal with South Korea, which serves as the template for the new Trans-Pacific Partnership, has resulted in a 50 percent jump in the U.S. trade deficit with South Korea in its first two years. This equates to 50,000 U.S. jobs lost… In just one month, October 2014, the United States had a $3-billion trade deficit in goods with South Korea, the highest on record.

Governing by the American people is gone.  We are run by big donor’s who recruit candidates to run for President, while this type of “trade agreement” that is not in the best interest of the US passes by their lackeys-Rubio is one of them.

This is in Trumps wheelhouse, trade aggreements and how the world economies roll,  Trump states:

The only entities to benefit from this trade deal will be other countries, particularly China and Japan, and big corporations in America,” Trump tells Breitbart News.

The small business operators, farmers, manufacturers and others will again be burdened with unfair trade practices, currency manipulation, exploitation of cheap labor, an onerous tax code and no help coming from the very people charged with putting America first. If crony capitalism were not bad enough, then sticking it to unions, small businesses and everyday Americans seems to be the new blood sport inside the DC Beltway.
