This post was much needed by many of us here at FR because we were confused as to what TPA really was and why Cruz voted for it. Thanks OP
Key point is that TPP is a done deal if TPA passes. They’ve been negotiating it for 6 years. This rush to pass it now is 100% beltway whoring for K Street money. Disgusting.
Oh, please. Talking with a kool aid ring is embarrassing.
The problem is we’re not “confused”, “misled” or otherwise not understanding. TPA and TPP are joined at the hip. Ted Cruz can spin it all he wants, these bills are nothing more than more daggers shoved into the ribs of the middle class.
I wouldn’t give dear leader fast track authority to run an ice cream truck, yet against all logic and common sense, Ted Cruz thinks that its a great idea to give dear leader a blank check on trade, immigration and the UN treaty on small arms.
Ted Cruz is just another conservative hustler with a really good conservative schtick.
