Unfortunately, the Boeing company just lost a $4 billion contract to Brazil because of NSA spying. More unfortunate is the Senate vote approving the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP) which surrenders legislative power over trade to multinational corporations.

It’s little wonder 72 percent of the American people view the federal government as a bigger threat to the future of the country than big business or big labor.
