After speed reading this link with the big time companies pushing the TPP and TPA it becomes obvious why Boehner, McConnell, Ryan and other big time elite Rhinos can see the rainbow. DC is swarming with Lobbyist as well as others pushing the golden goose.

If this was outside of a wacky presidency we now have and the Republicans were Tea Party or Tea Party types and modified it could very well be good thing for the country.

These guys go to bed at night with dollar signs dancing through their heads, what a shock the vote went the other way for them

    Corporate America was all for NAFTA and look how that's turned out. Millions of jobs outsourced overseas and millions more jobs lost that supported said manufacturing. Somehow I doubt this trade bill truly benefits this country in the manner their claiming.

    FBN stated that 2 of the countries in this trade deal, Malaysia and Vietnam, have wages of 40 cents and 52 cents per hour respectively. So one could assume the other 9 countries, with the exception of Japan and maybe South Korea, have similar wage structures. So are we going to have another round of that great big sucking sound as more jobs are outsourced?

    This TPP deal was done in secret, behind closed doors with no transparency. It deserved to go down in flames.
