As leaders in the democratic party, why have they not publicly announced if they are for or against the TPP?
How is it that the top Dem in the house, and the standard bearer for the party remain silent when what is needed now is LEADERSHIP and clarity!
The Dems seem to be driven, to an almost possessed fervor on the TPP. How else can you explain the cutting of entitlements just to get it passed. This is a republicans wet dream, increase corporate profits and powers and they get to cut the social safety net while they do it.
If they are for TPP they should tell us, they should be trying to convince us on why TPP is good for the party. They aren't doing this, and i find it very troubling.
Obama, Pelosi, and Clinton are so desperate to pass the TPP they they are going to cut Medicare in order to get it done. Shouldn't it be the other way around? If the Republicans want the TPP so badly, shouldn't obama and pelosi be fighting to increase funding for entitlements in order to throw democratic support to something that the Republicans need help passing?
We are being kept in the dark, as if we were children, they must think we are incapable of making up on own minds.
The democratic party, isn't acting very democratically at the moment.
Ill leave with one parting tidbit.
If the TPP does pass, we won't be able to read it for 4 years. You read that right, it will take 4 years for the public to see the contents of the Investor-State Dispute Settlement” text. This is the part where multinationals get to sue taxpayers if we pass laws which decrease corporate profits.
