Here is the text of TPA:
Side-by-side Comparison of the 2002, 2014 and 2015 TPA Bills
Leading Anti-ObamaTrade Activist Is a Longtime Democrat Political Operative
TPA is the legislation that enables TPP and two other even more secret “trade” deals. One more time TPA enables TPP. Without TPA, TPP/etc would be subject to a cloture vote. A cloture vote requires 60 yea votes. Under TPA, TPP/etc gets just an up-or-down vote meaning it passes if just 50 Senators vote yea (VP bearks the tie). So TPA lower the bar for passage of TPP to 50 votes instead of the normal 60 votes.
We are informed.
TPP is secret. TPA is a vote to allow Obama to make an agreement - TPP - which Congress will vote yes/no without amendments.
I know....this is for those who seem to not be able to grasp that concept.
Anything to do with our current WH occupant must be viewed with suspicion.
Don’t let yourself be used by TPP proponents trying to pass a mystery meat bill. TPA is a way for TPP, TTIP, and TISA to be crammed down with only a perfunctory period for public comment.
Those trade agreements need to be brought out to the open and stopped cold.
