Week 4-Venice Santos

TPP is fueled by money, power, and corruption…just like everything else in the world now a days. It sounds like the same old story/situation told with a new name stuck to it. This new agreement claims to be providing more jobs when in turn, it only benefits those of higher rankings. On top of that, those fore-fronting TPP uses a well-known brand name of, Nike, to endorse it. Why would Obama do this knowing that Nike exploit so many overseas Asian workers? Obama thinks the USA is running this show and every other country will follow, but in any race, no one will just follow the leader thinking they will win. The US has already harmed itself by importing more than it exports, so how can they think they are in charge of the show when they are losing money instead of making it?

Question: How much longer will the US try to play this powerhouse before another country tries to put it in its place?
