October 5, 2...Sanders Calls Trade Deal ‘Disastrous’<br />October 5, 2015<br /><br />BURLINGTON, Vt. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders issued the following statement on Monday after negotiators announced an agreement in principle on a 12-nation Pacific Rim trade deal:<br /><br />“I am disappointed but not surprised by the decision to move forward on the disastrous Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement that will hurt consumers and cost American jobs.<br /><br />“Wall Street and other big corporations have won again. It is time for the rest of us to stop letting multi-national corporations rig the system to pad their profits at our expense.<br /><br />“This agreement follows failed trade deals with Mexico, China and other low-wage countries that have cost millions of jobs and shuttered tens of thousands of factories across the United States.<br /><br />“In the Senate, I will do all that I can to defeat this agreement. We need trade policies that benefit American workers and consumers, not just the CEOs of large multi-national corporations.”<br /><br />https://berniesanders.com/press-release/sanders-calls-trade-deal-disastrous/Old Fogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265477610159544540noreply@blogger.com
