Constitutional conservatives don't like it. Trade unions abhor it. Obama critics hate it. Environmentalists despise it.
Outside the Beltway bubble, a broad coalition of voters from the left, right and center opposes the mega-trade deal getting rammed through Congress this week by the Republican establishment on behalf of the White House. Here's why.
The Obama administration, House GOP leader John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have sold out American sovereignty. Their so-called Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission will have sweeping authority over trade, immigration, environmental, labor and commerce regulations.
As alert watchdogs U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest and U.S. Rep Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., warn: "By adopting fast-track, Congress would be formally authorizing the President to finalize the creation of this Pacific Union and will have surrendered its legislative prerogatives. Before a word, line, paragraph, or page of this plan is made public, Congress will have agreed to give up its treaty powers. ... In effect, one of the most sweeping international agreements seen in years will be given less legislative scrutiny and process than a Post Office reform bill."
The Obama administration, House GOP leader John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have sold out legislative transparency. Boehner smugly asserts that so-called Trade Promotion Authority puts Congress in charge and promotes "more openness" on trade talks. Nonsense. Under the Boehner/Obama plan, Congress gives up its ability to amend any trade deals under fast track, severely limits the ability to debate and lowers the vote threshold in the Senate from 61 to 51. The 11 international parties negotiating with Obama on TPP refuse to sign their dotted lines until Congress agrees to pre-agree to behemoth global trade pacts — sight unseen.

Definitely not Carly. She’s essentially an unindicted felon. Just the channel stuffing she did at Lucent alone would do most folks in.
Where is George Soros?
Next time, please include the link to your commielib sources so we can all have a good laugh.
When I was looking for some information on the gutting of American industry by free trade agreements, I grabbed that info off Google and it listed some effects of free trade. I just looked up your link and read about the organization on Wikipedia. I was surprised that they would relate these facts, since they are tied in with Obama. However, you can find these kinds of cause/effects anywhere you want to look. It is unfortunate that some here on Free Republic enjoy seeing the top ranked manufacturer in the world diminished to second class status by free trade agreements. The nation certainly needs trade, but the way these agreements are being written is destroying our economy. That is why 93 million Americans are not working. Where I live, old time American companies that got their start here, and grew strong, and prospered, said “screw you” and took their plants and jobs overseas. Why do you think that is good? I have been monitoring a few alphabet news organization reporting about the candidacy of Donald Trump. They sit and literally howl with laughter. It is telling that a candidate, who does have accomplishments on his record, who promises to make American great, again is beclowned by liberals and conservatives together.
You know it is easy to make fun of the Baltimore rioters and uneducated idiots and lazy morons. I do it too. But when you think about it major cities are just internment camps for our postindustrial idled work force made so by off shoring. We fought Hitler’s Nazis and liberated concentration camps and ended creating virtual ones here.
Good point.
Go ahead and post that Marx quote with which you agree. Now is a good time.
Listen, if you are “looking for some information on the gutting of American industry by free trade agreements,” then I can link you to all sorts of commielib websites. You don’t even have to Google it, just ask me.
How about trying to refute what I said instead.
Why? You parachute into all sorts of threads with that Marx quote—you know the one, where he says that free trade will lead to social unrest? And here you are again, saying that free trade will lead to social unrest. It never fails to amuse me.
All our postings are just a click away, and if you check mine it is so easy to see that I push the communist agenda. All the time. I never let up. It is so clear. My nefarious agenda is so much more obvious when I call for a strong, free, Christian, traditional American. That alone settles it. You have smoked me out. I expect to get zotted at any moment.
Nope. Never figured it that way. You are simply a traditional protectionist who, when forced to Google (sad, right there), lands on lefty websites and then repeats their BS here. I’ve been watching it happen since 1999, and it’s a hoot.
Well refute it? How does it NOT do that?
Oh really? Do you really think that we can fix this systemic corruption via more elections?
“In this revolutionary sense alone,” I (central_va) am in favor of free trade. LOLOL
Uh...no. Reagan's idea was "trade that is free, open, and fair".....which is nowhere near what we have in NAFTA. To attempt to blame Reagan for the disaster that is NAFTA is like blaming Bill Clinton for balancing the budget. It's asinine.
Our population is about 320 million.
A lot more than 93 million are not working. Check your math.
Frankly, it sounds like the typical child's lamentation: "it's not fair!"
Hey man, how have you been? Looks like election season already. Early this year.
