Thanks again Ani, Lyn, KBOO Community Radio and OREGON FAIR TRADE for helping to deepen our electorate's understanding of these trade deals that for a year and a half of vapid Presidential Primary coverage by corporate-captured News Media, culminated when both Party CONventions refused to address in anything but manipulative slogans the upcoming Obama TPP that NOW both parties oppose. How'd that political reality happen?

Had Bernie Sanders run for President as the Independent Senator he is (was?), rather than having to pay deference to the Democratic Party Administration that passed 2012's KORUS, FTA (Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement) with overwhelming GOP\Tea Party support along with our Blue Dog Oregon Democrats in Sr Senator Wyden and Po'Town Congressman Blumenauer's Congressional Roll Call VOTES, we might have learned some valuable lessons of failed policies and the HUMAN OUTCOMES that defy even the basic numbers of who the winners\losers have been.

Three years of KORUS, FTA numbers coming in gives U.S. this TRADE DEAL SCORE BOARD that no corporate-captured NEWS MEDIA has given any coverage much less analysis to and it comes from non-profit and bi-partisan NGO PUBLIC CITIZEN and their indispensable online resource\web 'zine COMMON DREAMS:
http://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2015/05/05/third-year-korea-fta-dat...

Their headline and revealing sub-header has enough of a report card on the OUTCOMES of these EXPERT POLICIES SENATOR WYDEN ESPOUSES FOR ORE & U.S. to make passive Sports Fans DEMAND TV\RADIO NEWS REPLACE SPORTS REPORTS WITH TRADE DEAL SCOREBOARDS: {Creative Commons Copyright COMMON DREAMS, Lori Wallach, Alisa Simmons May 5, 2015}: "Third Year of Korea FTA Data Released, Show Failure of Obama’s Last ‘More Exports, More Jobs’ Trade Pact Promises, Further Burdening Fast Track Prospects:
Trade Deficit With Korea Balloons 104 Percent as Exports Fall and Imports Surge Under Korea Pact Used as TPP Template"

Keep on doing KBOO
