TPP In Democratic Party Platform Is A "Whose Side Are You On?" Moment It is clearly time for Democrats to decide and declare whether they are on the side of working people and the American middle class, or on the side of Wall Street, giant multinational corporations, the Chamber of Commerce and other corporate lobbying interests. The Democratic Party should go on the record and oppose the TPP.

Exposing Trump's Trade Appeal To Working-Class Voters For What It Is Democrats must get this right. They have to stand up for working people and demand that our trade policies start helping people instead of hurting them. That starts with Clinton demanding that the president withdraw TPP from consideration by Congress. This is the best way to show the public that she is on their side.

Democratic Party Platform Committee Undermines Clinton On TPP It is hard to understand why Clinton supporters are blocking efforts to fight the TPP agreement. This hands the issue to Trump and reinforces his position that Clinton is only "pretending" to oppose the agreement. It appears that the party elite just don't understand the public's overwhelming opposition to TPP.

Pounding On This Again, Begging For Infrastructure Investment There is no "cost" to the economy from fixing the infrastructure. With low interest rates, government gets the money to do it for free. The resulting economic and energy efficiency pays for it, and we all share in the increased prosperity. Not to mention all of the people who would be put to work doing the construction and maintenance, and all suppliers who would be getting a boost from the orders for supplies and parts.

Trump: Big Mouth, Empty Suit Trump's political rise was propelled almost entirely by media coverage of Republican debates, his rallies and his phone calls to TV and radio shows. Trump was able to gain sufficient exposure to dominate the Republican primaries. There was no real "campaign," very little "ground game," just media coverage of rambling "speeches," tweets and bluster.

Trump Running The Country Like A Business? Heaven Forbid The idea of making money off the public to make a very few people wealthy does not come up in our Constitution. This is the opposite of the purpose of government. Trump's experience running businesses would not translate well at all to running our government. Not well at all.

Obama Endorses Clinton, Then Undermines Her On TPP The President's push for TPP undermines Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign. Clinton is opposed to the TPP, and opposed to bringing the TPP up for a vote in the "lame duck" congressional session that follows the election. And voters are certainly opposed as well.

Lame Duck TPP Push Hands Trump A Powerful Issue Against Clinton Democrats need to persuade President Obama not to embarrass Clinton, and promise not to bring the TPP before Congress in the lame duck. If he doesn't pull back, Trump and "down-ballot" Republican candidates can rightly use the president's support of TPP as a hammer to pound Democrats.

Sanders, Brown Speak Out On Gunboat Diplomacy For Corporations Members of Congress are weighing in against the U.S. government's use of "gunboat diplomacy"-style intimidation of Colombia against that country allowing a generic version of an ultra-expensive cancer drug named Gleevec in order to protect the public's health.

Republicans Demand Flint-Like Solution To Puerto Rico Debt Setting aside democratically elected governments and putting an unelected commission in charge sets a terrible precedent for Republican control in U.S. cities and states. The Republican state government did this in Michigan, setting up the Flint disaster. Now they are taking away self-government in Puerto Rico.

This Week Is Infrastructure Week, But Every Week Should Be The Republican Party is ideologically locked into anti-tax, anti-spending and general anti-government policies. are committed to obstructing anything they consider to be "government spending" regardless of what it is for. (Unless, of course, it is for military adventures.) They say infrastructure money is really just "pandering to unions" or a "union bailout" or a "union payoff."

Is This The Return Of U.S. "Gunboat Diplomacy" Serving Corporations? Has the "Swiss" firm Novartis becomes the 21st-century version of United Fruit and ITT? At least they were "American" companies. This time the U.S. appears to be engaging in gunboat diplomacy in support of multinational corporations in general.

New Rules On Corporate Secrecy Have Glaring Loopholes Watchdog groups -- and law enforcement -- have been asking for a crackdown on corporate secrecy for years. The Obama administration sat on these rules. Then after the Panama Papers leak publicized the extent of the problem, they issued rules that many say could actually make the problem worse. What is going on?

Clinton Commits: No TPP, Fundamentally Rethink Trade Policies Hillary's position is now clearly on the side of those opposing not just TPP but the way our trade agreements have been used to move jobs out of the country, drive down wages and break what power working people once had in the economy. She has not left herself wiggle room on a TPP vote.

Korea Trade Data Shows The Potential For The TPP To Do Real Damage "Free trade" is not about "trade" at all. It is about Wall Street shareholders moving jobs out of the US to places where workers are exploited and governments let companies pollute. The countries where we send the jobs and factories do not "trade" with us. It is entirely about "lowering costs" so the workers there do not make enough to buy things made here.

Indiana's Carrier Factory Cuts Focused The "Trade" Election Issue The layoffs at the Indianapolis Carrier air conditioner factory have focused many people's feelings about our disastrous "trade" agreements that enable, even encourage, companies to move jobs and factories out of the country so that executives and Wall Street can pocket the wage and environmental-cost differential for themselves.

Warning: TPP Rearing Its Ugly Head They understand that the voters hate TPP, but the giant corporations want it, so they will try to push a vote after the election to "protect" politicians from the voters. And what the Chamber of Commerce "expects" of Congress usually happens.

As Verizon Strike Continues, What Are Candidates Saying? Verizon workers want job stability, acceptable working conditions and respect as human beings. The company wants the "flexibility" to be able to change workers days and hours at will, do even more outsourcing, make workers do more to make up for their desire to employ fewer people, and generally treat human beings as commodities.
