Grayson shows two charts that tell the story, below. The first is US trade balance 1962 - 1992, and the second since then. He said: "We have run a trade deficit of at least $350,000,000,000.00 every
single year since 2000, with no end in sight. The result is that we
have gutted the U.S. manufacturing base, and run up enormous debt to
foreigners -- almost $6 trillion ($6,000,000,000,000.00) in U.S.
Treasury debt alone. We buy their goods, putting their workers to work. They buy our assets, driving us deeper and deeper into debt." And we want to add the TPP?
