A critical creative look at issues of Economics, Politics and Finding a Purpose in Life - Let's talk about it. I try to leave the woodpile higher than I found it.
I urge the readers here to contact their representative and ask them to support Marcy Kaptur's legislation for transparency regarding trade agreements. This is very important. Do not allow Obama to have the authority to make trade deals on his own.
From her Facebook page:
Yesterday Congresswoman Kaptur introduced the Trade Review Accountability Needs Sunlight and Preview of Any Regulations and Exact Negotiated Components (Trade TRANSPAREN-C) Resolution, bipartisan legislation that requires any proposed trade deal to be made publicly available for a minimum of 60 days before it can qualify for a vote that would implement Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), sometimes called “Fast-Track.”
“TPA is meant to be an agreement between two equal partners, Congress and the Executive,” said Rep. Kaptur. “Unfortunately it has been abused in recent years. Today it has become more of a blank check for the Executive and turned Congress into little more than a rubber stamp. It has gotten so bad that deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership are essentially finished before Congress even has a chance to weigh in. This legislation calls for an end to this dangerous and irresponsible approach and replaces it with sunlight in the form of public access and accountability.”
