What's actually in the Trans Pacific Partnership -- we were published today on the American Thinker website
Howard Richman, 11/20/2015
We began:
On November 5, the White House released the text of the 5,544 page Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) that President Obama had just finished negotiating under the FastTrack authority that Congress gave him. That trade pact can no longer be amended. The up-or-down votes in the House and Senate will take place as early as January 2016.
So what’s in the TPP? Here’s a quick summary:
- A legislative body superior to Congress
- A vehicle to pass Obama’s climate change treaty
- Increased legal immigration
- Reduced patent protection for U.S. pharmaceuticals
- Quotas on U.S. agricultural exports
- Increased currency manipulation
- Reduced U.S. power
That’s the summary. Here are the details.
