If you don’t know much about the Trans-Pacific Partnership bill that is currently being negotiated in secret, don’t feel too bad — that’s the way Barack Obama wants it. In fact, very few in Congress have any real idea what the bill actually contains because, true to form, the president has tried to sneak the bill past the House and Senate in much the same fashion as he did with Obamacare.
And as bad as Obamacare turned out to be, this bill has far more serious long-term implications for the American public. The fast-tracking of the TPP will affect Americans in ways that most of us would strongly oppose — that’s why it has been shrouded in secrecy as the administration attempts to ram it down our unsuspecting collective throats. Even much of the President’s own party is against its passage, but there is still a good chance that it will survive and become law.
From a statement released by Republican Senator Jeff Sessions:
It is essential that there be no misunderstanding: fast-track preapproves the formation of not only the unprecedentedly large Trans-Pacific Partnership, but an unlimited number of such agreements over the next six years. Those pacts include three of the most ambitious ever contemplated. After TPP comes the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the United States and the European Union, followed by the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), seeking as one its goals labor mobility among more than 50 nations. Together, these three international compacts encompass three-fourths of the world’s GDP. Including the nations whose membership is being courted for after enactment, the countries involved would encompass nearly 90 percent of global GDP.
