I haven't read much before regarding the USCC, but found its pro-TPP stance interesting. Not that I didn't think globalization would benefit U.S. multinationals and exporters, of which the USCC's membership interests are primarily made up from, but more because of the statistics that it put out seem quite aggressive. I realize that the USCC has minimal accountability for these stats and data, and that the report was constructed by a third party, The Peterson Institute. Nonetheless, you can decide for yourself how realistic these expectations are.
A study by the Peterson Institute for International Economics estimates the TPP will increase annual real incomes in the United States by $131 billion and boost annual exports by $357 billion by 2030, when the agreement is nearly fully implemented.
A separate Peterson Institute study estimates the benefits of the TPP “are more than 100 times the costs” and will be widely shared.
While the benefits for exporters of goods and services are clear, it neglects to discuss the impact on the rest of the economy, deliberately ignoring the reasons for the rise of populism.
