Paul Ryan talking. He is trying to explain this TPP.
Let me stay that I do not understand any of this. Am paying attention.
According to Ryan, the current debate is over whether to even debate this, NOT to necessarily pass it.
Trade Promotion Authority.....all kinds of alphabet soup and it’s a mess in my head.
Last Monday I drove to Massachusetts from Delaware all by myself!
The following Wednesday I drove home....all by myself.
Needed to get away, am in hiding.
All by myself and spent some time with brother-in-law, a rare Mass. conservative and his son, 12 years old.
His mother wrote me upon my return home and told me that Matthew loved listening to me and could listen to me all day.
That was nice cause I got a lot to say.
Told young Matthew about Ted Kennedy and how he left a woman to drown....the Kennedys and how JFK’s death made a bunch of loser-burgers some kind of heroes....kid didn’t know any of this.
I believe that is correct and why Cruz voted for it on the Senate side. Cruz has not committed on the final bill. And Andrew McCarthy made the analogy that a prosecutor wouldn't show his case while he was building the case. It's premature to disclose the details at this point, he explained.
Those endorsements aside; The trade agreement contains so much to do with things other than trade and certainly contains international regulation on immigration, climate, et al. Trusting Obie --who would love to tie us into lots of international laws in the name of trade ---ain't happening. Likewise, to rely on a gutless Republican congress to actually vote it down also frightens me.
And we should ask why a trade plan which is promised to help American jobs, needs a companion TAA ---which provides Assistance for displaced workers.
Nothing adds up...except greased skids for crony corporatism, which is why the unions don't like it either.
