The falling dollar is much like the end of life of a star. At first there is an uncontrollable expansion, increasing in size (value) often. After this comes a decrease to the size of a football. Or in the case of the dollar, turn to dust.

On the other hand, Brazil is not a part of Pacific free trade, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Colombia are. This trade agreement that Obama is negotiating will be a win win for us and nothing for Brazil.

Bras/Toby is the only person in the World that thinks the U$ is falling.
The only one.

Every developing country in the world is panicked that its rising so quickly.
Its on a long term upswing.
Get used to it.

The TAA program has completely failed in the context of the NAFTA and KORUS treaties. It would be foolish to expect any different on the TPP context.
