Reading this thread is very reassuring.
The reassuring part is that most Freepers don’t trust secret legislation.
We can get along without this TPP for two more years, and then the Republican President, Cruz for those on this forum who are pushing for him, can re-introduce it.
The fact that Cruz can’t wait is very unsettling.
I thought Cruz was smarter, and far more patriotic than he appears to be at the moment.

The bill that the senate and hose have voted on is not secret. It has been posted online for a month or two:
TPA text: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/1314/text
The TPP is what is secret and is still being hammered out. After it is written it will be available online for public scrutiny for 60 days. After 60 days congress will take it up for a vote.
The ‘urgency’ some have questioned is because the current FastTrack TPA is expiring and up for its 6-yr renewal(which is what they voted on) - our businesses and trading partners need to know our trading terms.
I can’t help but think all of the chaos and confusion is like everything else the tyrant and his progs are involved with - intentional. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Barry’s being for it wasn’t planned reverse psych. Why else would people like Pelosie and those other rad Ds vote against. The ‘courting’ and huddles barry had with them may have been strategy sessions rather than him trying to persuade them to vote for it. JMHO
