McConnell forges ahead with trade votes despite Dem holdouts
The Hill ^ | 06/18/2015 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 06/18/2015 6:44:31 PM PDT by GIdget2004

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is moving forward with votes on President Obama’s trade agenda next week, even though pro-trade Democrats have yet to promise their support.

McConnell on Thursday filed motions to advance fast-track authority and a separate package of trade preferences for African nations combined with an extension of Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), a program that helps workers displaced by foreign competition.

The Senate will vote to end debate on fast-track Tuesday and then will vote on final passage of the measure later that day or Wednesday. Immediately afterward, the Senate will vote to end debate on the package of trade preferences and TAA, setting up a final vote on those Wednesday or Thursday.

He has been bought by the Chamber of Commerce, and as an honest politician, he intends to stay bought.

My guess is that the holdouts will fold too.

Says all you need to know about fast track authority and global governance “trade” legislation that Congress has to pass a separate bill to provide taxpayer-funded welfare to Americans who will lose their jobs because of these phony, corrupt measures. And it’s the bought-off RINO Rovian GOPe crooks who are leading the charge this time.

We are not alone based on all of the other corrupt members of congress. The majority of them IMO.

The people are getting the government they asked for and deserve. And they are taking us down with them.

You said to Dr. Bogus: “Go away.”

Dr. Bogus Pachysandra has been here since 2005. You joined last month and have been nothing but a bagful of hate talk, so you go away.
