There's a $100,00 bounty being offered for TPP details

[Belle]

Issue #1:  That's how secretive this administration is!  No one knows what's inside the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. 

   "Whistleblower website WikiLeaks offered a $100,000 bounty for copies of a Pacific trade pact that is a central plank of President Barack Obama's diplomatic pivot to Asia on Tuesday."

    "The text of the TPP, which is still under negotiation and would boost the flow of goods between 12 nations from Japan to Chile, is a classified document."

Who knew that Nancy Pelosi could predict the future.  Remember, you have to pass the bill in order to know what's in it, rang true with Obamacare, & now with TPP.  Further proof that on either side there is no transparency.

Issue #2:  Obama pushing passage of his trade bill in the House

    TPP & fast-track passed in the Senate with majority support from McConnell & his rinos.  Rand Paul, the only presidential nominee & to his credit, was a no vote.

Obama's Boehner & rinos in the House "....are sparing no effort in the whip effort and believe they’re on track to notch a historically high vote total for a trade bill.

"Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Majority Whip Steve Scalise and Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry will meet with undecided Republicans this week to press them to vote yes."   

Are ya'll buying this?  "press them to vote yes"...what's being promised?  Are there any principled politicians that care about the voice of their constituents, or have they all been promised, bought & sold?  Can they not learn from the failure of NAFTA?   

I certainly understand that there may be a difference of opinion on this site regarding the (2) mentioned trade deals.

A few comments from the lefty Politico site:

"And Ted Cruz wife is an employee for Goldman Sachs, the biggest contributor to push the TPP... Rand Paul is the only presidential contender that voted against the traitorous, secret, job-jacking, special-interest-pocket-lining, liberty-leeching, corrupt-crony-capitalist-politician RINO-supported TPP."

"Obama's TPP will depress American wages for decades, destroy millions of US jobs, drive thousands of US manufacturers out of business, result in hundreds of thousands of H1b foreigners to take Americans' jobs away for less pay, and once again double welfare and food stamp participation."

"Wait till you see the goodies handed out to those who change their minds to vote yes."

Poor Boehner, doesn't have enough votes yet to add another nail in the coffin in America.

Boehner:  “I don't think we're quite there yet."
                “But over the next couple weeks, we hope to get this bill on the floor and get it passed. It's an important priority for the country."

"Boehner acknowledged some in his party are opposing the fast-track legislation, known as Trade Promotion Authority or TPA, simply because they don't trust Obama."

"But the Speaker added: “This is not about the president; frankly, it's about the country. It’s why I've worked with the president on a number of trade agreements over the course of his tenure and my tenure as Speaker,” including deals with Panama and South Korea."

C'mon John, fess up.  Just tell the truth.  You've got alot riding on this because of your pals in large corporations & the COC who are begging for cheaper labor; us darn Americans just cost too much in their bottom line.

Comment:
 
"What Corporations are doing now is importing cheap labor for the jobs they cannot ship over seas and forcing American Workers to pay the price. TPP is an end-run around our immigration laws. Fast Track Authority takes power from the people and gives it to Wall-street and their Tools in Washington - It is not in our best interests, and does not help Americas families or workers at all."

There's TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership), TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) & TISA (Trade in Services Agreement).  Enough to make one's head spin.

Wikileaks released 17 documents "related to the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA) currently under negotiation between the US, the European Union and 23 other nations.  These negotiating texts are supposed to remain secret for five years after TISA is finalized and brought into force."

"The deal, which has been under discussion behind closed doors since early 2013, is intended to remove barriers to trade in services. It’s a sort of companion piece to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which cover trade in goods – but potentially far bigger, with Wikileaks claiming that ‘services’ now account for nearly 80 per cent of the US and EU economies."

"Like TTIP and TPP, TISA could be sped through Congress using Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority, which has been passed by the US Senate and may be taken up in the House this month. Under TPA, Congress is barred from making amendments to the trade deals, and most simply give yes-or-no approval."

"And the contents of TISA make interesting reading, particularly for anybody concerned about privacy."

Hey, here's Paul Ryan coming out of the closet... of liberalism, that is!

"House Ways and Means chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI): "believes the Obamatrade process is more transparent than President Barack Obama’s negotiations with Iran..."
 
Here's the liberal part:  "....even though the text of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Pacific Rim trade deal that Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) would fast-track is currently being kept in secret in the basement of the U.S. Capitol and press and the public are not allowed to read it."

I'm kind of on a rant with this subject.  I have to check my inner self why it bothers me so much. Glad to have a site to vent & hope the NSA isn't checking it out.   
Perhaps its because I'm so fed up with these control freak liberal republicans.  It shows who the oligarch is, & we, the little people, are left without representation.

That's funny because yesterday Wednesday June 3rd, 2015 the IAEA announce that Iran had increased it's stockpile of nuclear fuel by 20% last year after they declared such increases were "frozen".
They were doing what they promised not to do in the meantime "negotiating" with the owebuma administration.
I know Kerry and owebuma are world class liars, but they are being outclassed so much it's eye watering.
Meanwhile "Jobs for Jihadis" Marie Harf is making excuses for owebuma with no basis in reality.
