(25,819 posts)It's funny, during the Bush administration if you had any little criticism of the U.S. government you were asked why you hate America and called unpatriotic, liberal. If you pointed out that of course the housing market was a bubble, you were laughed at. Then the fashion changed with the next administration and especially over the last year if you didn't repeat all the right buzzwords about how terrible every single thing is, you don't hate America enough and called names like neoliberal.
As far as the TPP is concerned, I haven't seen one concrete thing from critics of why it's so bad. It seems like the same old argument as everything else: if it isn't perfect so it's bad. From what I've seen from previous research it improves things from what they are now.
