Who is "freaking out" over the TPP? Hint, it ain't just DUers

[Evar]

7. Stampeding on fasle speculation

I don't admire the progressives who, fueled by pure speculation and not facts, have trashed the TPP. This trade deal is NOT NAFTA, it is about America building into the agreement workers' and environmental protections and the means to take to court countries that don't abide by them. To walk away from this partnership with the 11 countries with whom America sells 45% of our exports is crazy. We can't be isolationists in the 21st century or leave China, with its bad labor and environmental practices, to dominate world trade. That would be a disaster for America. And despite the hysteria, the fact is that Fast Track is anything but fast. It takes at least nine months, with congress weighing in at every turn. The president, who has saved this country from economic ruin and worked tirelessly to create jobs, is not about to sell us out. We, who call ourselves Democrats and progressives, should at least give him and this plan a fair hearing.
