[CTC] A guided tour of USTR talking points in Fast Track

[Stan Sorscher]

A Congressman’s letter to constituents hits almost every USTR talking point on Fast Track. See side-by-side opposing views, fisked into this online version.

We’ve all seen letters like this:
Dear ______,

Thank you for contacting me about President Obama’s trade agenda. ……. 


One counter-point:
Any time a proponent of TPP tells you about exports without mentioning imports, he or she is hiding half the story from you. It’s like saying, “You give me $5 and I’ll give you $3. Boy, did you get a heck of a deal by getting $3!!! We should congratulate each other for negotiating that deal. Let’s do it again. You give me $5 and I’ll give you $3. Now you have $6. You’re doing great!”
