Do you think young people should be listened to MORE when trade deals ARE FOREVER?

Fast track lasts SIX YEARS so that means the next president and Obama have the power to screw up this country forever more than any President has ever had before, because there are SO MANY deals in the pipeline.

Basically, trade deals are locking down our future world into bad business models that we already know arent working, these deals lock them down and make the future unworkable. They are literally trading away your futures.

Look at what they have done here with health care. Look at what they are doing in India with education! Read my .sig. Do you want more of that?

The majority of people won't understand this until it is a done deal. (On a related, but different, note: I also think most people will become familiar with the term "bail in"only at the the point that they also discover what it means ... when they find themselves crying over their empty savings accounts.) Bernie Sanders is a chance to put a brake on things but it sure looks like a lot of people prefer "sleepwalking toward Armageddon."
