Fast Track = "Too Big to Fail"?

[Faryn Balyncd]

4. Good analogy. Fast Track is designed to turn future pacts into "Too Big To Fail" bills

in which the devil is in the details, and that places Congress people and Senators in a position analogous to the position of regulators tasked with the job of reigning in "Too Big To Fail" banks and corporations.

Senators and Congressmen are intentionally placed in a dilemma in which, after ceding their constitutional authority to amend, they are pressured to pass a bill despite bad provisions which could never pass on their own, because to reject the bill outright would be portrayed as rejecting "the best the negotiators could get", portraying those voting "No" as "purists" who "want ponies".

Turning a process developed in the last century to negotiate mutual reduction of tariffs, into a process to sneak massive changes in environmental, labor, financial, health and safety, and intellectual property law through Congress in a bundled, "Too Big To Fail", no-amendment process, is an abusre, and an attack on democratic process.
