WE HAD THE PLEASURE TO HAVE PROFESSOR ANDREW LUBIN AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION THIS WEEK. THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK ABOUT TRADE AND THE TPP, SOME SUPPORTERS AS WELL AS MANY OPPONENTS. HERE IS HIS TAKE AND HOW THIS YEAR'S U.S ELECTION CAN AFFECT TRADE.

THE TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (TPP) AND NAFTA ARE NOW PART OF AMERICA’S DAILY DISCOURSE. WHILE TRUMP WANTS TO BUILD A WALL ON THE BORDER WITH MEXICO, IMPOSE PUNITIVE TARIFFS ON CHINESE GOODS, AND RIP UP-RENEGOTIATE EVERY TRADE AGREEMENT SO AMERICA CAN ‘WIN’, MANY SANDERS SUPPORTERS WANT TO CANCEL EVERY TRADE AGREEMENT, DOUBLE THE MINIMUM WAGE, BAN GMO’S, AND BREAK UP THE BIG BANKS AND BIG CORPORATIONS.

OPEN TRADE HELPS BUT DISPLACED WORKERS

MUST BE HELPED

OTHERS, FORTUNATELY, HAVE

A LESS-LUDDITE VIEW OF TRADE.

MRS. MARY ROSS (MN) EXPRESSED THE

VIEW THAT WHILE TRADE HELPS

CONSUMERS, THOSE WORKERS WHOSE

JOBS ARE AFFECTED SHOULD RECEIVE

GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED RE-TRAINING

OR SCHOOLING.

It's my job as a United States Senator from Pennsylvania to fight for Pennsylvania jobs. In the

decade after NAFTA was passed, 525,094 workers were certified as displaced, and a 2014 study found that job displacement due to trade led to real wage losses of

12-17% 1984 through 2002. Thousands of Pennsylvania jobs have been shipped overseas because of unfair

trade practices and outsourcing.

- Pennsylvania Senator Robert Casey

THE TPP IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE AMERICAN EXPORTS INTO ASIA AND BIND THE 12 TPP SIGNATORY COUNTRIES INTO A REGIONAL ECONOMIC – NATIONAL DEFENSE ASSOCIATION THAT SERVES TO CEMENT THE UNITED STATES AS THE ECONOMIC AND SECURITY HUB OF ASIA.

TRADE AGREEMENTS & TECHNOLOGY ABSORBING

JOBS

WITH TRUMP’S TV ADVERTISING NOW FEATURING STEEL WORKERS AND SHUTTERED MILLS WITH HIM TALKING ABOUT ‘THESE TRADE DEALS STRIP THE COUNTRY OF ITS JOBS AND WEALTH.

OPPONENTS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE MADE IT A PROXY FOR THE NOW-POWERFUL FEAR THAT AMERICAN WORKERS ARE BEING LEFT BEHIND, ALTHOUGH THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN CAUSING ENTIRE CLASSES OF JOBS, BOTH WHITE AND BLUE COLLAR, TO DISAPPEAR, WAS DISMISSED AS UNIMPORTANT.

THESE ARE COMPLICATED ISSUES WITH LONG-TERM SOCIETAL AND ECONOMIC RAMIFICATIONS. LET’S HOPE AS THE TEMPERATURES IN AMERICA DROP AS THE NOVEMBER ELECTION NEARS, COOLER HEADS THAN KATE’S WILL PREVAIL.
