"Matt Drudge, conservative, unleashed on the Republican Party Friday
after the GOP Congress gave Barack Obama sweeping new powers when the Republican Senate passed Obamatrade Friday without reading the bill".
Why this bill is a big deal. It would allow the power to submit trade deals to Congress for an up-or-down vote with limited debate and no amendments. Congress can't change it.
In a rather bizarre situation, the president’s ability to finalize a trade deal was pushed through by
Senate Republicans. Last night 48 Republicans joined with 14 Democrats
to successfully approve the measure. The vote was 62-38.
Can't believe it, but I think I agree with Democrats on this one. Will have to do some more reading on it. Look how NAFTA worked out for us :(
ReplyDeleteClinton believed that NAFTA would create jobs and good-paying American jobs. It didn't happen and it seems that this new bill will just build up foreign economies at the expense of American workers.
