I suspect the relative weightages of the issues might be different - For eg, environmental issues might be much higher up in importance simply because Europe is light years ahead of the USwhen it comes to environmental regulations.Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782192840421019943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-84930380633035843282015-06-07T18:39:14.031+05:302015-06-07T18:39:14.031+05:30Some interesting issues raised here about national...Some interesting issues raised here about national vs global interests.

That is why this is not the big issue everybody is shouting about. Although I submit this is the one that requires most action - the US has to find a way to find alternate jobs for those who are losing it. If not there will be social unrest - we are already seeing it in the confrontation of the African Americans with the police.

If I know China can make a cheap I Phone, i would already be buying from it. maybe i am being my usual dumb!!Sandhya Sriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11833463085841210502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-88467394868769643262015-05-20T21:15:58.867+05:302015-05-20T21:15:58.867+05:30Avvv...ivlo urupidiaana topiclaam enakku post a va...Avvv...ivlo urupidiaana topiclaam enakku post a varaathay :)gilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259194565523548553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-52804951149370881432015-05-20T16:28:53.698+05:302015-05-20T16:28:53.698+05:30I have no grouse against the good lady as a person...I have no grouse against the good lady as a person. But every time she mouths something loony, I will rant and rave. She hasn't made one sensible argument against the TPP - she is purely making noise to position herself as some sort of leftist messiah. Why the good folk of Massachusetts vote for her I cannot understand.<br /><br />As for Krugman, if I see his mug shot or his name, I quickly turn the page ! Thankfully, my newspaper The Hindu is not carrying his column very often these days.<br /><br />Oh yes, the secrecy argument will be made day after tomorrow.

Yes, at one level, Marx might even approve. <br /><br />Would you like to write a post that visa restrictions are no different from tariff restrictions and that the US must abolish the H1B cap if they claim to believe in free trade ? Why not removal of non immigrant visa caps in the TPP. Once this series is over, I will write a post on the downright robbery that the H1B concept and process is.Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782192840421019943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-2896835733377261132015-05-20T15:08:33.371+05:302015-05-20T15:08:33.371+05:30so capitalist USA, wants to offshore their jobs, m...so capitalist USA, wants to offshore their jobs, making their own countrymen unemployed yet socially secure,so that some other even poorer folk from some other country, without any social security can survive on peanuts being paid to them in comparison to their American counterparts. is this is not communism in an interstellar level? :D:Dgilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259194565523548553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-6450481970635319392015-05-20T09:49:45.314+05:302015-05-20T09:49:45.314+05:30I have nothing to disagree here.
