One thing to be aware of is we don't know what the final deal looks like. Many times things are put out in negotiations to be taken away later. This is why "people" say, "The two things you never want to see being made are sausages and laws."
- whyenot 11y agoWe don't even know what the current deal looks like. Even lawmakers have had only very limited access to the terms of the proposed treaty. if the country, and by extension, the American people, are going to give up some of their sovereignty in exchange for ...something, that should be an open discussion not this corrupt backroom nonsense.

Look at how hard it is to get a budget deal done in just our country, because everyone plays to the media and their most extreme constituents. Multiply that by every country looking at the deal. Too many parties second guessing the process kills any chance of a trade agreement good or bad.
