I agree. Drop the requirements that were easy to stiff arm in after WWII but that luster has worn off. We might have to compromise. I don't understand why we can't just say the real reason for the TPP publicly, China is winning world trade, then discuss the trade agreements more in the open. Let people know how it will affect them, give groups time to setup alternate paths for work/options. Secrecy is a short term thought path, we need long term planning and we need to give people a heads up. The general populace can't really vote on it anyways and our opinion doesn't impact decisions like this unless it is a corporate or wealth influence [1] Congress is acting like a manager that 'protects' you from problems that ends up causing more problems. Then one day, protected you so good the company shut down the division or similar. Informed people always fair better, they can plan better, they can survive better.
