President Obama Weekly Address: Fighting for Trade Deals that Put American Workers First

[sabrina 1]

5. What did we suggest as Democrats, when Bush asked for the same thing in 2007

and was defeated?

I remember the arguments made by our Dem Reps then, why they voted against it, nothing has changed to make this any more palatable in a Democracy.

First, is there anything in this agreement that fixes the huge Trade Deficit we have since NAFTA?

It's hard to make suggestions when we are in the dark and the President refuses to allow Congress to do their job and bring it to the floor for open discussion so the people know what is in it.

Since we know nothing other than the leaks, based on those leaks, I would say to begin with, GET RID OF THAT PART of it NOW. We should never be giving Foreign Corporations the right to sue The American people because of our laws.

Can you think of anything MORE LUDICROUS than that?? What the intention there is that it will become so expensive for us, and other countries, they will eventually weaken our laws just to save money.

You can be sure there will law suits, 6,000 Corporations will have access to our country to do business, and this will be a weapon they will use so they can pollute and destroy our environment.

So, remove that dangerous piece of legislation from the bill.

Second, we a little about Net Neutrality, that too must go. It threatens our internet freedom.

Now show us the rest of it so we CAN make suggestions.

Otherwise your question is like asking me what I think of the moon, I don't know, I have never seen it.
