Senator Slams Obamatrade: “They Won The Vote, But Lost The Trust Of The American People” (ZeroHedge, June 24, 2015):

Senator Jeff Sessions will release this statement in response to Senate’s vote to advance the fast-track trade bill:

Americans increasingly believe that their country isn’t serving its own citizens. They need look no further than a bipartisan vote of Congress that will transfer congressional power to the Executive Branch and, in turn, to a transnational Pacific Union and the global interests who will help write its rules.

The same routine plays out over and again. We are told a massive bill must be passed, all the business lobbyists and leaders tell how grand it will be, but that it must be rushed through before the voters spoil the plan. As with Obamacare and the Gang of Eight, the politicians meet with the consultants to craft the talking points—not based on what the bill actually does, but what they hope people will believe it does. And when ordinary Americans who never asked for the plan, who don’t want the plan, who want no part of the plan, resist, they are scorned, mocked, and heaped with condescension.

Washington broke arms and heads to get that 60th vote—not one to spare—to impose on the American people a plan which imperils their jobs, wages, and control over their own affairs. It is remarkable that so much energy has been expended on advancing the things Americans oppose, and preventing the things Americans want.

For instance: thousands of loyal Americans have been laid off and forced to train the foreign workers brought in to fill their jobs—at Disney, at Southern California Edison, across the country.Does Washington rush to their defense? No, the politicians and the lobbyists rush to move legislation that would double or triple the very program responsible for replacing them.

This ‘econometarian’ ideology holds that if a company can increase its bottom line – whether by insourcing foreign workers or outsourcing production – then it’s always a win, never a downside.

By way of example, here is Keith Tucker’s explanation of just one aspect of the idiocy.

  1. Just “enough” of these clowns voted yes to pass it……..and the ones who did not did speak against it……but, too many so-called candidates of the people, like that piece of crap Pelosi, voted yes.

    I am neither republican or democrat, although I like Bernie Sanders, and hearing the democrats blame the republicans……Saying how terrible it would be to get a republican president next election……What in the HELL do they think they have right now?????

    Just like that rotten bill clinton, this idiot is just another republican with a d after his name……………..Americans have lost their voting power, and are too foolish to know it………………………..
