Lets put together a list of what we know is currently proposed.
1-Its being created and written in secret by multinational corporations
2- Its being negotiated in secret, and if an elected representative were to discuss what is in the corporate giveaway (tpp) they can be jailed.
3-Mitch Mcconnell is in favor of it
4- it will set up secret courts for arbitration
5- it will take money from Medicare
6-it will use that money stolen from Medicare to help American workers when they lose jobs (due to this corporate giveaway known as the TPP) as we offshore more jobs
7- it will grant corporations the power to criminalize Whistleblowing and to go after copyright / intellectual property violations with the penalty of incarceration.
8- New laws will be created to incarcerate citizens that play videos that might constitute unauthorized use
What have i missed. We can make this a living document and either add or remove entires that do not belong.
Go to jail for file sharing or whistle-blowing

Let me summarize what i think the TPP boils down to. In order to stall the Chinese ascendancy, the US will need to become more business friendly than the Chinese currently are. The TPP is a massive multinational corporate giveaway, and it will strip US workers and citizens of 1st world privileges and rights.
You see, in order to compete with the Chinese, we need to downgrade our environment, our wages, our rights, and our legal recourse in all corporate matters.
