The Real Problem With Washington

The Congressional Debate over Trade Promotion Authority, which gives him the power to cut trade deals and expedite their passage through Congress without amendments or procedural hurdles shows us how Washington really works. The same Congressional GOPers who say that President Obama can't be trusted to pass Immigration Reform or negotiate with Iraq, are willing to give him unprecedented authority to negotiate trade agreements. Does this sound strange? Unless you see the influence of big corporate interests, who use the misleading label of "free trade" to advance their own interests.
