It really is! Trade agreements affect everyone, not just select industries. I can almost understand how "industry experts" need to be consulted if the negotiators are not experts themselves. However, once that is over, the voting process is also completed by people beholden to the select industries and "fast-tracked" through congress. The worse part of all is that you can't just vote in new politicians to overturn it; breaking a treaty with another country is typically a big deal and much more of a problem then just overturning a law, for example. This whole process is a mess!
