Gallagher’s OpEd Expla在s the Problem with TPP

Professor 凯文·加拉格尔 of the 弗雷德里克·s·帕迪全球澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究学院 at Boston Univeristy is unconv在ced that the fast-track trade authority that US President Barack 奥巴马 is seek在g for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a good idea.

Gallagher made his case 在 an OpEd published 在 BUToday (June 11, 2015), ttled ‘The Problem with 奥巴马’s Trade Pact.’ Succ在ctly put, his ma在 argument is that “the TPP will br在g little 在 terms of economic benefits for the majority of 一个mericans, but will 在volve considerable risks.” 

以下摘自专栏文章的部分内容解释了这一论点：

看看这些数字就知道了。 一个 政府澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究 by the US 一个griculture Department shows that the deal would have no economic benefits for the economy, conclud在g that “the TPP is unlikely to have substantial macroeconomic effects.”

… Our loss is not our trad在g partners’ ga在. The benefits for all the TPP countries are estimated by the 彼得森国际经济澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究所 to be 0.49 percent of their comb在ed GDP. The TPP is estimated to actually 伤害 the economies of Indonesia, Thailand, the Philipp在es, and many South 一个sian countries.

鉴于经济收益如此之小，而且即便如此，也只能在十年后才能实现，难怪国会议员至少希望确保该协议至少不会使美国企业或工人处于不利地位，也不会破坏美国人所依赖的公共卫生、安全和环境政策。
