Hi Diogenesis,

Thanks for the links to WiliLeaks.

I think you and I already agree that whatever Obama negotiates for these two so-called “free trade” bills will be full of rules and legalisms that will actually hurt American trade — and America, itself.

And I think you and I already agree that there is no point in even asking for one-vote-up-or-down on a so-called “trade bill” that mixes tariff reductions on American products (which we want) into a devil’s brew of tax increases, regulatory “rule” increases, and an assault on American sovereignty.

I’m afraid that Obama is trying to “bait-and-switch” this bill past the GOP’s current leaders. I’m sorry but it looks to me as if those leaders think that the limits and instructions they place within the TAA “law” will actually be respected by Obama’s goons.

Bwah-ha-ha!

So, IMHO, Senator Cruz is RIGHT: Make the so-called “trade agreements” 100% public BEFORE Congress votes again on the TAA! Otherwise, let the “NO!” stand.

Cruz has already cast his vote for TPA and TAA. Both were in the Senate bill. If the House passes TAA, then it will not go back to the Senate. It will go to Obama's desk.

The House Dems will come onboard once they wring some more concessions out of the Reps. We are being treated to some more political theater.
