There must be a way to blame this thing on the Republicans, but I can't figure out how to do it for myself, so I'm hoping that any number of Democratic Party hacks will flood the comments with excuses for the President!
Obama and the TPP!
The TPP would replicate and expand to additional countries the trade agreement model established in the NAFTA. Twenty years of evidence of NAFTA's contribution to U.S. income inequality has become a major problem for Obama's push to get Congress to provide Fast Track authority for the massive TPP deal, described as NAFTA on steroids.
Not a single House Democrat would sponsor the legislation submitted two weeks ago to establish Fast Track. Last week, 17 Senate Democrats made their feelings known in letters to Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). And last November, 151 House Democrats signed a letter saying they oppose Fast Track, arguing that lawmakers have been cut out of negotiations.
Obama and the TPP!
Do they go together like a horse and carriage?
"You can't have one
You can't have none.
You can't have one without the other!"
Obama and the TPP!
Is it NAFTA on steroids?
In line with NAFTA, but on a much grander scale, the TPP will also create new tax havens while lowering wages and reducing workplace and environmental regulations.
Lowering wages and reducing workplace and environmental regulations!
Is that your agenda?
And now for the poll!
