I mean , it's not just a ... It might not be just such a simple uhh you know ?
Legislators have introduced a bill that is bad for democracy and bad for America. The Fast Track legislation (S. 1900 and H.R. 3830), introduced by Sens. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.), would establish a process that allows no amendments and limited debate on such trade deals as the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Once legislators have the Fast Track ticket in their hands, they are free to agree to provisions that will send jobs overseas, reduce the bargaining power of workers, jeopardize health and safety regulations and gives corporations more control over our economy and our trading partners' economies. ACCESS THE DIGITAL TOOLKITFast Track legislation allowed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to be rammed through Congress with weak labor and environmental side deals. Since NAFTA went into effect in 1994, North American workers have experienced downward pressure on wages and a tougher organizing environment. Twenty years later, we find an unbalanced system in which profits soar even as workers take home a diminishing share of the national income.More recent trade deals, like the World Trade Organization trade deal, had no labor or environmental standards at all. And other Fast Track trade deals have included Colombia, a country in which nearly 3,000 labor leaders and activists have been killed since 1986, and Korea?a country with which our trade deficit is already rising, and which, under the very low standards of the deal, can receive tariff benefits for cars that contain only 35% Korean content. To really have trade deals with high standards, the American public must have more say?and that means no Fast Track authority from Congress.The Baucus-Hatch-Camp- bill would do nothing to fix the U.S. trade deficit or grow the middle class. In fact, it would interfere with important health and safety regulations, ensure the primacy of investor rights over labor rights and boost profits and incomes for global corporations and the top 1%. But it will shrink the paychecks of working families and make it less likely that America?s children can climb the ladder of success.
I assume you are referring to the "Fast Track Trade Bill"? Actually a fast track for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.For me it shows who is running the show.The financial services part of the economy seems to be in charge for sure.Even the vestiges of American manufacturing seem to be left out in the cold, right along with Unions.http://www.aflcio.org/Issues/Trade/Fast-Track-LegislationQuoteLegislators have introduced a bill that is bad for democracy and bad for America.
