lousy trade deal to make everybody happy so they can gut american jobs? there has to be some level of protectionism. i wonder what teddy roosevelt would say about this. we have forgotten our roots. this is wrong. this is not standing up for american families. and to stand up for american families is to say no to fast track. and you know what s ironic about this? is that the republicans want to give the president the trade promotion authority to go do this deal, but they don t want to give the president the authority to go do a nuclear deal with the iranians. yeah. whatever works for them politically, right? this is going to be the best sweetheart emerging market deal that wall street has ever had. wall street s never had it so good. from march of 2009 to where we are right now. how much better do they want it? in the meantime we have very few people in the democratic party in this country who are willing to say we have an issue with income inequality and we have a wage gap.
