That wasn’t my point.

My point was that your question is a Catch-22: “Tell me exactly what is being done in secret.”

I am against any bill that the public cannot read in its entirety.

I am against any “free trade” agreement that is anything more than one sentence establishing free trade.

No, it wasn’t a Catch-22, because nothing about the bill currently before Congress is being done in secret.

Yes, the trade agreement is being negotiated in secret, but when it comes before Congress it will be fully revealed and you will be able to read it “in its entirety” should you choose to do so.

And you’ll never see a one line free trade agreement, but free trade typically benefits all parties to the agreement, so hammering out details is worth the effort.

And, for the record, I don’t trust President Obama as a negotiator either, but any agreement he signs on to has to be approved by Congress. That severely limits his options for going off the reservation.

(Spare me the cynicism...I’ll do it for you....Congress....HAHAHAHA...okay?)
