Fast track? How about a pro-America track
WND.com ^ | 5-11-2015 | Phyllis Schlafly

Fast track will increase our trade deficits, which reduce economic growth. Economists have estimated that the last trade deal, which we made with South Korea and which is the template for TPP, wiped out 50,000 American jobs.

Sen. Sessions called on Obama to rewrite the deal. Sessions said, “We don’t need a fast track but a regular track” so we can evaluate the false promises.

Fast track turns over some of our authority as a sovereign nation to international authorities, which is a major longtime goal of the internationalists, the so-called kingmakers, and big business lobbyists. The code language that hides this in TPP is the statement that calls it a “living agreement.”

This means Obama and his executive-branch pals can take all kinds of actions Article I of the U.S. Constitution reserves to the legislative branch, such as ratifying or changing a treaty and controlling immigration.

This is insane.

I never thought I would be more in agreement with Elizabeth Warren and Alan Grayson than I would Mitch McConnell and John Boehner. Mitch and Boehner can both rot.

It IS insane! The sooner people genuinly realize that the Establishment Republican Party no longer is our friend, but rather is our enemy, the sooner we can set a course to fix this mess.

Whatever anyone may think about free trade and globalized (foreign) production -— certainly now in the depths of the Great Obama Depression is not the time to expand these policies and export even more American jobs. There’s near- record numbers of unemployed Americans and a lot of the ones with jobs are being cut back to part time status due to obamacare. And all the socalled new jobs have gone to foreigners moving in here Please, Congress, now is a horrible time to be destroying even more USA jobs.

Mitch and Boeher should be tried for treason along with Obama.

We would be at such a major disadvantage with such an agreement. We would have to comply with certain pollution standards and many of these nations will just ignore the standards.

They are also not trustworthy. It would be much like the UN where we’re paying for a lot of backward nations (muzzies) to bash the USA.

These politicians can all rot. They are screwing the American people.

Washington certainly isn’t operating on behalf of the American people. They are absolutely destroying this nation.
