I’ll believe it when I see it.

Interesting! It will be done in the Cruz administration.

The GOPs love for money exceeds their hatred of Obama. What’s a politician to do?

If Cruz has anything to do with it, it’ll be a good deal for the U.S. :)

Given the provisions of TPP/TISA/TTIP already in the public sphere, I’ll take never in its current state. It’s bad enough that the entire process needs to be open, not just the 60 days of shouting against soundproof glass.

If there’s anything worth doing, it would be to dismantle the 1965 Immigration Act and all its programs. That would get rid of large chunks of abuse/fraud, while TPA would enable treaties that vastly increase it.

“something the US President and House Speaker both wanted”
LOL! What stupidity!

All the Dems and RINOs want it. The House Dems just want more. It’ll pass as soon as they get that ‘more’ in some bill.

The republicans are doing what they can to wreck the country.

House approves fast-track 218-208, sending bill to Senate
The House on Thursday took the first step toward resuscitating the White House’s trade agenda by passing legislation granting President Obama fast-track authority.

The bill now goes to the Senate, where the White House and GOP leaders are seeking to strike a deal with pro-trade Democrats.

The House vote was 218-208, with 28 Democrats voting for it.

With TPA, the Congress will oversee and give input to trade agreements during negotiation period.

They will have exactly two options, approve or disapprove, no amendments no input other than some insider options that will be for sale.

If a name like “Podesta” is supporting anything, we don’t want it.

That's after the agreements are finalized and in public for 60 days. The objectives and inputs for trade agreements from the Congress will be given before and during the negotiation period accordingly.

If the Congress can add amendments to trade agreements after all parties (we are talking about other countries' governments here) have agreed on, it will take a long time to have any deal, or no country will start a process of negotiation with us at all. Imagine that they have to go back to their governments every time our Congress changes things.

No they won’t.

Congress is out of the equation once TPA passes, nothing under fast track has ever been defeated. In fact the President can already sign the trade agreement without Congressional approval. Congress then rubber stamps.

I think this whole concept needs to be rethought, redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up. With 100% transparency of course. If it can’t be done transparently then perhaps it doesn’t need to be done at all.

It is so bad they don’t want to deal with it during the election cycle!

I think it will bog down in the Senate.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bernie Sanders does a filibuster.

It would really help him with the Left.

You mean the lobbyists will have input.

The one time I hope a communist wins!

Good luck with that Trade Agreements are negotiated in private because there can be no progress as long as one party is holding out to see what kind of deal another party is getting. As long as Congress is involved and being reported to by the President as required by TPA, I’m o.k. with it. I don’t like the process without TPA.

Then, it is voters' responsibility for electing bad representatives.

I feel your pain. I feel it too. But we must have hope. We are in it together. When a good candidate comes along and he asks for our help, we should give him full supports.
