As voters go to the polls for Super Tuesday, American Jobs Alliance looks at what the candidates arent talking about when they talk about jobs. Independent candidate for U.S. Congress in Colorado Dave Anderson and Republican and Independent candidate for President Buddy Roemer talk about their campaigns and how our failed trade policies are costing jobs and threatening our future.

Guests: Ralph Gomory, Melinda O’Keefe

Ralph Gomory former head of science and research for IBM and author of Global trade and Conflicting National Interests discusses the fallacies of so-called “free trade” as practiced today, why R&D is intrinsically tied to manufacturing, how corporations have traditionally based their decisions on more than the maximization of profits, why “education” is not a panacea for the problems facing working Americans, and why we need new policies to better align the goals of US corporations with the needs of the American people. Dr. Gomory is a Research Professor at New York University Stern School of Business.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is being negotiated in secret by the Obama Administration with nations on the Pacific Rim. It is the latest so-called free trade agreement, like Nafta, that undermines democracy and protects multinational corporations from regulation. We will hear a teach-in on the TPP that was presented in Washington Square Park on January 29 as part of Occupy Wall Street. Speakers explain how the TPP undermines food security, local agriculture, access to affordable drugs, and the ability for sovereign nations to regulate banks and multinational coroporations.
