But there is no economic study or model that shows any big net benefit to the United States. There is one Peterson Institute study, cited by the U.S. Trade Representative, that shows a minimal 0.4 percent gain for the American economy by 2025. That’s hardly enough to start reducing our immense and growing $18 trillion national debt. And two U.S. Department of Agriculture studies show no net gain in agriculture from the TPP. Why sign the agreement if it doesn’t help with the national debt? Two words: Special Interests.
