What's in the 2,000-Page TPP Agreement
The full text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership has been released - and it's over 2,000 pages long. Matt Gold, a law professor at Fordham University and a former Deputy Assistant U.S. Trade Representative who supports the trade deal, discusses the content of the text.
The #TPP will create far more jobs/opportunities than it will cost us - though it will cost some, esp NY dairy industry, says @ProfMattGold.

@Emilycgb thanks, Emily. We already have 3,000,000 acres of empty former dairy farms .

@brianlehrer @profmattgold this is such scam, because I cant go from making shoes to being a lawyer, free trade is killing us.

@BrianLehrer Don't let him off the hook! Even accounting and finance are now moving overseas, see recent NYT: https://t.co/8BefjAo1Ch
