Government of the money, by the money, and for the money.

The selling of a Republic. Citizens United (yes that applies) worst SCOTUS decision in history. Money, money, money .... buy, buy, buy.

Toss in the Patriot Act and we are pretty much DOA.

A smelly, corrupt deal that no one of any political persuasion should support.

I’m surprised at how cheaply they valued their vote and their loyalty to America.

OUTSTANDING article. Names, names. Thanks for posting. Interesting list of dough-rollers on the fascist track legislation.

The bill would grant Obama “trade promotion authority” – speeding the passage of trade bills by barring Congress from adding amendments or altering language – and is considered the first step towards US approval of the controversial Trans Pacific Partnership, which is the largest free trade agreement in world history. The proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with the US may follow.

I have read this in more than one place. Does not sound as if Congress will be exerting anymore control over Obama than before.

May or may not be an accurate statement, how would we know?

This makes me (even more) sick.

From your link...

Out of the total $1,148,971 given, an average of $17,676.48 was donated to each of the 65 “yea” votes.

The average Republican member received $19,673.28 from corporate TPP supporters.

The average Democrat received $9,689.23 from those same donors.

The amounts given rise dramatically when looking at how much each senator running for re-election received.

Never has the government been so infested with liars, thieves and perverts. I used to think it was a good idea having them all there instead of robbing little old ladies and raping children.

I am now of the opinion that we need them in our neighborhoods so that we can thin out the herd.
