In reply to the discussion: TPP Trade Deal Will Be Devastating for Access to Affordable Medicines [View all]stillwaiting
(3,795 posts)I also think that there has been ample evidence brought to our attention that this "trade" agreement contains many other things within it that has nothing to do with trade.
It seems like a work around to get certain policies implemented that can't get passed through Congress (or can't get passed through Congress without extremely negative repercussions and embarrassment), and we have been told that's what's happening by people I deem to be trustworthy. Therefore, I don't know how anyone could be inclined to support the TPP OR Fast Track (since in effect the TPP will pass if Fast Track is granted).
So, your support for the TPP certainly exists as far as I'm concerned. It might be weak support, but you definitely are not part of the movement to stop Fast Track (since you would be inclined to vote "Yes"
, and if by some miracle we are able to prevent Fast Track and the TPP from passing it does not appear to me that you will have been part of the movement to prevent its passage.
