This vote 127 Ya, 296 NO does not bode well for future trade bills.
Congressional Statesmen who have passed on, and who would have pounded their fists in opposition to this bill, must be their haunting the hallowed halls of Congress today.
Amen to this!

TAA FAILS! [View all] marym625 Jun 2015 OP

Good Harmony Blue Jun 2015 #1

Doesn't the TAA train and place workers? JaneyVee Jun 2015 #2

Yes PowerToThePeople Jun 2015 #5

So the offshoring continues, but no training for displaced workers? JaneyVee Jun 2015 #14

That is my take. PowerToThePeople Jun 2015 #23

Wasn't TAA to be paid for by cuts in social safety net? Isn't that why they tanked it? peacebird Jun 2015 #28

I believe Robbins Jun 2015 #32

TAA already exists, or at least did PowerToThePeople Jun 2015 #34

R's wanted to pay for retraining by taking $$$ from medicaid, didn't they? peacebird Jun 2015 #45

I heard something along those lines PowerToThePeople Jun 2015 #46

correct marym625 Jun 2015 #60

It's tied to the individual agreements, so there was TAA for NAFTA, CAFTA, US/Korea, etc. Recursion Jun 2015 #83

In what way are the TAA and the TPA opposites? Cal Carpenter Jun 2015 #42

Tpa is trade deal fast track PowerToThePeople Jun 2015 #44

Okay Cal Carpenter Jun 2015 #47

Well PowerToThePeople Jun 2015 #49

They were procedurally tied together so they have to start TPA over, basically (nt) Recursion Jun 2015 #79

The votes for both TPA and TPP are still there, though this complicates the procedure Recursion Jun 2015 #81

TPA passes, they will revote on TAA. tritsofme Jun 2015 #26

Yup Harmony Blue Jun 2015 #29

Are they still going to vote on the TPA today? And they need to take the Medicare baloney out of jwirr Jun 2015 #38

Can't do that without sending it back to the Senate. (nt) jeff47 Jun 2015 #56

The house scheduled a revote for Tuesday marym625 Jun 2015 #63

Yep, if they can pass the Medicare-cutting TAA on Tuesday they don't have to go back to the Senate. jeff47 Jun 2015 #66
