Senate panel OKs Obama's secretive 'fast track' trade legislation, but battle awaits in House | 22 April 2015 | President Barack Obama's trade corporate rule agenda [drafted in secrecy by and for corporations] narrowly passed an initial Senate test late Wednesday, but many fellow Democrats hope to trip him in the House. The Senate Finance Committee endorsed Obama's request for “fast track” legislation, which would renew presidential authority to present trade deals that Congress can endorse or reject but not amend. If the House and Senate eventually comply, Obama is likely to ask them to approve the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership…Liberals, labor unions and other groups bitterly oppose these trade measures, saying they would hurt U.S. jobs [and subjugate the US to the governance of the trans-national corporations that drafted the legislation].
