Thank you for visiting the "TPA News" page where you will find leaked news about the Trade Promotion Authority agreement. I say leaked because the TPA that has been kept as secret as possible not only from "We the People" but also from our elected representatives in Congress as well. If TPA (or anything for that matter) was such a great deal for America and Americans, then it should be held high and survive the light of public scrutiny and debate. Our elected servants should be checking in with us and informing us about it (as with all legislation). But that's not what is happening. I report...you decide. Please visit often as I will continue to update and add more information. Thank you. ~ Rodney Spooner

SNAFU Time Again for the White House on TPA, Pelosi
Earnest again trotted out the “procedural SNAFU” line after Friday’s stunning events on the House floor, and there’s at least some merit to that line. Putting Trade Adjustment Assistance in a separate vote was meant to give Democrats a chance to vote for what they wanted, Republicans a chance to vote for what they wanted and everybody would go home happy. Indeed, it was a procedural package Pelosi appeared to have signed off on, having negotiated a deal that intended to strip Medicare cuts via the rule. But crusty House Democrats knew they could slow down Trade Promotion Authority, the so-called “fast track,” by killing TAA, and so that’s what they did. Pelosi’s shocker of a speech was the final twist of the knife for a White House that had been counting on her — as they have again and again and again — to deliver the votes. |

This Is The Difference Between TPP And TPA (Hint: They Are Not The Same Thing)
In the fevered debate over international trade, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and trade promotion authority have been used almost interchangeably. But in the end, they are not at all the same thing. Simply put, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a major international trade deal between 12 countries that began negotiations in 2010. The deal includes some major players and will impact a considerable portion of the global economy. Therefore, it has attracted a lot of attention, both positive and negative. |
