[font size=3]Obama's Korean Free Trade Deal devastating for US Workers[/font]
What happened to the 70,000 jobs that the Korea Free Trade deal was supposed to create? They never materialized. Instead, U.S. workers lost 40,000 jobs in the first year of the agreement.

The above "Free Trade" Deal with Korea is the Prototype for the TPP.
Much of the language for the TPP is exactly the same as that in the Korean Deal
