Fast Track Bill Would Legitimize White House Secrecy and Clear the Way for Anti-User Trade Deals

8. It's trying to put in place many ways to bypass what our founders had intended for passing treaties

which required super majority votes in favor of such treaties and a lot more visibility and time to work out the details than Fast Track would allow.

NAFTA is an example of what the TPP will do to us that has destroyed American jobs and lead to a huge trade deficit that we hadn't had in this country before it was passed, which ultimately leads to the huge debts we have now that the Republicans use as an excuse to not invest in any thing through government to help make most Americans lives better at a time when they sorely need it!

TPP is about the wealthy and powerful being obsessed with getting more and not knowing when to stop and pushing us all to the brink in the process. Thom Hartmann is so right when he renames this SHAFTA instead.



Anybody who supports Fast Track in my book should be voted out of office. And I include Senator Wyden in that statement, who I now want to see primaried by Pete DeFazio here in Oregon, as much as I like what he's done in other areas in congress. It is really that bad a bill in my book, and is that big a sign of a politician selling out to the powerful elites and surrender his/her mission of serving the people who voted for him that traditionally politicians have had as their responsibility.
