Sure are a lot of “experts” here about a bill that is supposedly secret.
"Look in my eyes, what do you see? The cult of personality."
TPP commits the US to putting specific authorities in the hands of a group of nations with the US and other nations each getting only a single vote on what the rules will be. That's not a trade deal since it doesn't agree trade specific matters.
It cedes authority that rightfully belongs in the hands of those we elect, not in the hands of a majority made up of people other governments appoint.
Well there's a cure for that. Make the bill public. Use your vote on TPA as leverage if you have to, but don't talk down to your base and play cheap shell games. If you did vote for TPA then you've just lost any leverage you might have had to unveil whatever is in homobama's TPP.
And if you've given away your vote for TPA without forcing a public review of TPP beforehand, then you're either hopelessly stupid or just another cheap political whore.
