The left is so wrong on the Trans-Pacific Partnership

[Major Hogwash]

17. Washington state has done really well these last 5 years or so, especially in the area of trade.

My older brother lives in Seattle, and he told me that the entire city has been a hubbub of activity ever since 2010.
He said that Boeing nearly fled Seattle just a few years ago, and that they threaten to take their jobs to a different state nearly every Presidential election cycle it seems.
But, he said the machinists union backed off from their last demands in order to save their jobs, and in the process, they prospered by the increase in orders, that lead to the creation of more job openings!
Well, well, well, how about that for some good news.

Yet, it puzzles me sometimes when members of DU that live in nearby Washington state don't brag about their healthy economy very much here at DU.

But then, that wouldn't do much to further the meme at DU that Obama hasn't created any jobs, and that there are no new jobs in America, and that everyone is eating government cheese now just to get by, simply because the cost of mac and cheese is just too high for all of those poor, unfortunate, out-of-work souls to afford to buy at Costco in quantities larger than the family-sized 25 box-pack anymore!
