TPP is a Disaster

As TPP Signing Nears, Experts Warn U.S. Manufacturing Will Suffer, by Sen. Jeff Sessions 1/2/16

"The American Automobile Policy Council recently issued a report which stated that the TPP would threaten 90,000 American automotive jobs... Ford released a statement opposing the deal. They argued that the TPP is not adequately open and does not adequately open foreign markets to U.S. goods...The White House's own study...claimed that TPP will decrease the growth of manufacturing in the United States by 20 percent by 2030.

"We need to demand that people who sell in our markets--and whose exports to the United States are critical to their economic well-being--don't get to do this if they are not playing by the rules. They don't get to manipulate their currencies. They don't get to subsidize their manufacturing, and we are not going to allow them to use nontariff barriers to prohibit the imports of American products.

"A nation that has the greatest economy in the world, a nation that has the greatest military in the world must maintain a manufacturing base."

U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) serves on four Senate committees: Armed Services, Budget, Environment and Public Works, and Judiciary, where he is Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest.
