The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a proposed regional free trade agreement (FTA) among 12 countries: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam.
The negotiating partners have expressed an interest in allowing this proposed “living agreement” to cover new trade topics and to include new members that are willing to adopt the proposed agreement’s high standards. Japan is the most recent country to seek entry into the TPP. The Administration gave Congress notice of its intent to negotiate with Japan in the TPP on April 24, 2013......
Thus, assuming the House honors that public commitment...
And isn’t that the nut of the problem? No part of elected government has been honoring their commitments.
No, CW is supporting Walker who is on record as being in favor TPA. She was relatively silent on this issue until a couple of days ago when Walker jumped the shark and voiced support for TPA.
TPA make passage of TPP much easier. The only purpose of TPA is to enable TPP/TAA/TISA. Congress is allowed to view only the TPP document, congress is not allowed to view TAA or TiSA. Why anyone would support enabling secret treaties that they are not allowed to know the contents of is a mystery to me. And given who is negotiating for the USA it is almost criminal for any constitution loving American to support it.
Walker, Ryan and Cruz have all jumper the shark and reveal themselves as globalists not Constitutionalist.
except that a vote for TPA is the correct way to go
Correct. Giving Jindal a hard second look.
Walker and Cruz used to be on my list, I will be having a look at Jindal too.
So am I.
As of a few days ago, I had stopped looking for a candidate.....that’s how much I thought of Cruz.
Now my confidence is shaken........
Trust but verify.
Even though it is a clear violation of the Constitution, correct?
Apparently you care more about giving Obama additional power to destroy the country in the next 18 months than you care about the constitution. As long as Ted Cruz is for it then "a vote for TPA is the correct way to go."
Did you take this position before you knew that Ted Cruz was going to vote in favor of it?
Interesting that they had more security for the trade treaties than the entire federal government employment database, including the one with all the data on people with security clearance.
It shows not that they can’t keep a secret, but what they consider more important.
Well having given this issue (Cruz TPA/TPP-TAA-TiSA) a great deal of thought I have concluded that his vote was a “honey do” thing. LOL, I could forgive him if he is humble enough to act for forgiveness. Other wise he is going to have to sell me on the merits of TPP/TAA/TiSA and that is going to be a very hard sell. A Trust Me argument is not going to work. Walker can’t claim a “honey do” excuse so he is stuck selling the merits of a secret bill he is not allowed to read. Good luck with that Walker.
I haven’t seen the SCOTUS decision to that effect
FReeper lawyer rulings don’t count
Maybe the general distrust of all things Obama is doing good by shedding light on the travesty of “Free Trade” agreements. No more business as usual.
If anything, it’s the far left and the Democrats and their. Corrupt labor union friends who have consistently.opposed any trade deals including TPA.
A broken clock....
They oppose them often for the wrong reasons.
Actually TPA is not a "trade deal". It is a process for bypassing the constitution's requirement that treaties be ratified by 2/3 of the Senate.
If anything it’s you that sounds like a broken clock and a fanatic.
Obviously.

“Rep. Ryan, Sen. Cruz, and Gov. Walker want jobs for Americans. They want the economy to grow. They want a strong America (economically as well as internationally).
They are free market capitalists. “
I guess that’s why I haven’t heard either of them speak about lowering the highest corporate tax rate in the world so that American business can compete on a level playing field. That one thing would create milions of jobs. But of course if they did that we wouldn’t need TPP.
Deflecting a discussion is the M.O. of liberals. Please do not resort to that. I never said Perot candidacy helped anything. But since I am a brutally FAIR person, and no one’s Robot, so I can admire Perot for his instinct on NAFTA.
