Trans Pacific Partnership

Postby JDgator » Thu Jun 25, 2015 7:44 am

They've cleared the way with the fast-track negotiating approval. Approving the deal is just a formality. I am concerned that this is another NAFTA. I think we are going to lose jobs in the south.

is anybody else paying attention?

I just saw something about this today. With all this crap about the flag, all the things that we should really worry about have been pushed to the side. The short answer, No.

Knew there would be some back door stuff under cover of the flag debacle.

It still has to make it through the House. And they say its DOA.

We'd better hope it's DOA. This thing is far worse than NAFTA, according to bits and pieces leaked. Can you believe most of Congress cannot READ the bill. Yet most are willing to support it. $$$ talks.
Never assume.

that's bass ackwards that the ones that do get to, have to do so behind lock and key with a gag order except for the other few that can, as well.
