They are sinister.

There are some who honestly see the Trade thing as beneficial to America. I don’t know one way or the other, simply because it has been so hush hush and now the multitude of acronyms to further muddy the water.

There have been Fast Track Trade things before, do not remember one where Congress had to go into a secure bunker to read and then sign a secrecy agreement to keep the legislation secret.

Legislation and Treaties are not supposed be “we have to pass it to know what’s in it”. That is what gave us nobamacare.

My best bet, Ted Cruz, is supporting the Fast Track part (up or down vote on a Trade Treaty), I believe primarily because it will apply to the next POTUS. That is all well and good, but the secrecy thing dirties it way too much for me.

The secrecy thing should be illegal.

I would end massive bills, too. Each bill should be limited to one topic and few pages.
