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
@9GFX6HR8mos8MO
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 Equality8mos8MO
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
@8J6TGYP4yrs4Y
@soldieroffortune1yr1Y
Yes, but renegotiate the treaty to include better protections for American workers.
@9BC2V6R1yr1Y
Yes, but incentivize companies to stay in the US
@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
@99Q8B5Y1yr1Y
i dont kniw what this is
@99Q82HL1yr1Y
Unaware of what this is.
@8ZWDDXC2yrs2Y
I am unfamiliar with the issue
@8ZMLY9W2yrs2Y
No, the TPP does not provide for adequate worker protection requirements
@8ZG3KTL2yrs2Y
Companies should be free to do as they please without the government interfering.
@8ZFSWXZ2yrs2Y
It does not really matter to me
@8ZF66YQ2yrs2Y
I don’t sway one way or the ether
@ogoldman2yrs2Y
Yes, but place minimum us operations requirements and use international presence to improve poor work conditions and standard of payment
@8Z32RCZ2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it is outsourced from China and not the U.S.
@8YW4MHL2yrs2Y
As a strategic positioning in Asia , trade is the by product .
@8YP84DH2yrs2Y
Only if all groups involved agree to not raise tariffs or discourage companies from producing in certain countries
@8YLZSG72yrs2Y
Yes, but add restrictions and taxes to all imports
@8Y3QWTYIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, but mandate any company established in the United States to keep its headquarters in America and carry out its operations primarily in the United States and raise taxes on international businesses originating in the United States.
@8XWDLM63yrs3Y
Economists should decide this
@7WPDTXY3yrs3Y
Yes, but provide incentives for American companies staying in this country.
No, the cons of this partnership outweigh the benefits
@8WQFCYK3yrs3Y
I am unsure as to what it is.
@Connely20223yrs3Y
I would have to learn more first.
@8WGSBQRLibertarian3yrs3Y
No, we should have unilateral free trade with all nations
@bacampbellsoup3yrs3Y
Let businesses trade freely with one another.
@bacampbellsoup3yrs3Y
Yes, but I’d rather have voluntary agreements between businesses and leave government out of it.
@8LMSGQR4yrs4Y
I'm indifferent on this situation
@8LK7WJR4yrs4Y
I am half and half on the situation. There are both pros and cons to the TPP.
@8LHG7KV4yrs4Y
i don’t understand the question
@8LB93YH4yrs4Y
I do not have an opinion on this issue right now
@8L4833W4yrs4Y
Yes as long as companies are still being encouraged to stay in America
@8L2LVB24yrs4Y
From what I already know, yes. However, I do not know a lot on this topic.
@8KZ3BYH4yrs4Y
Yes, but the goods that are being made in the other countries have to be sold to those countries where they are located, but they shouldn't outsource any of the jobs from the United States. They should just add more jobs.
@8KRV2PJ4yrs4Y
Yes, but limit the hidden provisions
@8KQX2ZF4yrs4Y
Yes, it’s important to stopping Chinese economic power in the pacific.
