I cannot even recall the letter I wrote to the White House...but this is the response. I was probably complaining about TPP and the destruction of American Jobs and the outflow of businesses from the US. Heres the response...its so filled with PR BS, its really hard to even read. Excellent example of why Barack is not popular...he surrounds himself with a bubble of PR Hacks thinly disguising his inability to connect with the WORKING MAN and WOMAN. Sad. Dear John: Thank you for writing. Trade and investment are critical parts of my strategy to create jobs, spur growth, and strengthen the middle class. My Administration is pursuing a global trade agenda to place our businesses, workers, and consumers at the center of the 21st‑century economy, and to shape the trade landscape so we promote both our interests and our values. We are opening markets and leveling the playing field for Americans by pursuing and negotiating a series of ambitious trade agreements. In the Asia‑Pacific region, the Trans‑Pacific Partnership will knock down barriers to American exports while raising labor and environmental standards in the fastest‑growing region in the world. Elsewhere, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership will strengthen our economic partnership with the European Union by further reducing tariffs and regulatory barriers while maintaining high environmental, consumer, and health standards. Together, these agreements will foster free trade with two‑thirds of the global economy and safeguard workers’ rights and the environment. At the same time, my Administration has redoubled our efforts to enforce existing trade agreements. Vigilant monitoring and enforcement of our current trade agreements are essential to protecting our trade rights, which is why we’ve taken action to ensure our partners abide by their commitments. We have also fought hard to resolve unwarranted barriers to American agricultural, manufacturing, and services exports, and we’re creating additional opportunities for Americans through our ongoing negotiations on services, information technology, and environmental goods at the World Trade Organization. Our work has produced real results, making it easier for businesses to export goods and services and to reach consumers living outside our borders. With a highly educated workforce, an entrepreneurial culture, a strong rule of law, and abundant sources of affordable, cleaner energy, the United States has the potential to be the production platform of choice. My Administration is striving to ensure America is the place where businesses want to locate and hire, and goods stamped “Made in the U.S.A.” are the products of choice in the global marketplace. We will continue these efforts because we know our workers and businesses are the most productive in the world. Again, I appreciate your message. I am confident we can support job growth at home and boost exports while promoting our values and raising standards around the globe. Sincerely, Barack Obama
