I would have fewer problems with a TPA that gave the president the right to negotiate nation-to-nation trade deals than a TPA that gave the president the right to negotiate deals like TPP, TISA, etc. that involve multiple countries.

We as citizens have the right to try to convince our representatives to vote Yea or Nay on each trade deal that is negotiated by the president and comes before the congress.

It would be easier for us to make a recommendation if we were dealing with a single country that we felt was trading fairly or not.

I realize that sometimes regional trade pacts seem to make more sense, but it would be difficult or closer to impossible for any citizen to educate himself enough to know what to say to his representatives.

Even with nation-to-nation treaties it appears we got lied to with regard to our recent deal with South Korea. How much more screwed are we going to be by a TPP or TISA which involves over a dozen nations?

That makes sense. Maybe we should have our representatives prove that they care about us by closing the borders and fixing all the other trade agreements that only made the sodomite, fascist elites richer while strangling the middle class. While they’re at it, change the TPA to require 60 votes for passage. Without these simple acts, we know the TPP will just be more of the same treason.
