Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt! 8^)
I tend to think Sanders is best viewed as a storm trooper or, perhaps, an early
adopter if you don't like the war metaphor, whereas Obama seems more like a 2nd

Having followed you over the years, I don't think you know what a shallow
answer is. It's just not in your blood.
I was trying to head off cheap attributions of Obama's motives. Whatever else
one may say about Obama, I think he thinks hard about stuff, as does Sanders.
So how do th

The idea that "free" markets (well, OK, relatively fluid markets) both allow
more innovation and lower the barriers to entry is fundamental to my open-mindedness
w.r.t. these trade deals. The complicating factor is that perhaps any 1 deal might
_tighten_ things up in some ways (e.g. DMCA-like
I don't know what "deep answers" means. But my understanding is that if we
allow China to dominate trade in the region, then we (may) lose seats at lots of
negotiating tables. If we lead negotiations and have an excuse to stick our noses into
every negotiation, then we retain more of both no
Thanks, Eric, for making that clear.
I feel like as an Old Deweyan, I should be for free trade. After all, if I
believe tin the market-place of ideas, surely I believe in the free market
place of marketplaces. But isn’t it also Deweyan to believe in rational
democratic planning?

If the government is serious about supporting the service economy, rather than
trying to figure out ways to protect U.S. intellectual property, I would
suggest we turn it around and figure out ways to undermine other countries'
intellectual property. Obviously from a trade perspective it is

The saying that TPP is giving away the most successful market in the world,
