Robert Pollin on reasons to be skeptical of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal moving through Congress

Robert Pollin, economics and co-director of the Political Economy Research Institute, says while he supports global trade, there are numerous reasons to be skeptical of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal moving through Congress. He says opposition from Democrats is based on experience of job losses from other international trade deals that were supposed to benefit American workers, but didn’t. (Republican, 5/14/15)
