Senator Ron Wyden wants to state his bill co-sponsored by Orrin Hatch regarding the trade agreements for the Pacific are good environmental protects.
Excuse me?
Senator Orrin Hatch just talked about his bill to remove states rights and enforce free will of the petroleum industry to drill anywhere in the USA. He is completely illegitimate in any idea he is going to promote responsible environmental standards in any trade bill.
I want to read it for myself and I'll let everyone know exactly how the proposed environmental standards shake out. Having a standard better than none is not a standard.
I never thought I'd ever hear a word from Senator Jeff Sessions I'd agree with. He did his homework. He states the South Korea trade agreement never met the promises for the USA that was written into the bill. Well done. I can appreciate a Senator that can back his statements and legislation with fact.
Republicans should know that a trade agreement that robs income from Americans is an assault on the tax structure of the country which is suppose to pay our national debt and deficit. How? Because the lower the wages of the citizens of the USA, the lower the income to the US Treasury.
Why hasn't the USA taken the South Korean trade agreement and broken promises before the World Trade Organization?
"Fast Track" assaults the legislative rights of the US Constitution. President Obama wants to be trusted as other presidents before him in granting Fast Track to the trade deals on both coasts of the USA. The issue is not a matter of trust, it is a matter of providing Americans a sense of well being by providing time to review the proposed agreement. Not only just a review, but, the ability to address any provision by writing their legislators and demanding their concerns be honored.
Basically, at this point in trade relations with the USA there is automatically red flags going up all over the place. I do believe federal legislators are insensitive to the struggle Americans have to make ends meet and small family businesses, including chicken farmers and other family farms. Currently, in the USA, family farms that produce chickens in contract with Wall Street companies cannot make ends meet. There is actually brutal treatment of American family farms that grow and sell chickens into our economy. If there is a potential for Wall Street to develop a chicken industry that make more profits than they already do, the American farmers will lose everything they have and Americans will receive inferior products.
There is a lot wrong within the USA by Wall Street that touches the lives of most Americans. Another assault by trade agreements will only serve to break the backs of Americans and demoralize them further. It isn't the time to open markets. I don't buy it that China will set the standards. What happened to our sovereignty by allowing Chinese imports that are egregious to our economy. That statement about China is designed to instill fear and aggravate the passage of the trade agreements. What is China going to do? If legislators state China will have some almighty power without this trade agreement, then where are the facts?
Senator Sessions should know the people of Alabama needs a far better economy than they have today. Another threat to their already tenuous economy will only serve to disparage them more.
About 82% of Alabama's annual agricultural production is generated by livestock products. The other 18% comes from crops.
Alabama was also impacted by the BP oil disaster.

About 82% of Alabama's annual agricultural production is generated by livestock products. The other 18% comes from crops.
Alabama was also impacted by the BP oil disaster.
Alabama supports a fishing industry based on the saltwater catch provided by the Gulf of Mexico. Shrimp
are the most important catch, followed by blue crabs and oysters. Buffalo fish, catfish, and mussels are freshwater
contributions. Grain-fed catfish are raised on fish "farms".
Government services (public schools, public hospitals, military) rank third.
Alabama's fourth-ranking services include finance, insurance and real estate.
Senator Sessions should meet with his agricultural sector to understand what these poultry producers go through with the companies they have contracts. The poultry industry in Alabama is significant. These farmers need to be supported and understood as to what their needs are. If trade insults this sector it will hurt Alabama.
Alabama Poultry Producers, (click here) a division of Alabama Farmers Federation, is composed of farmers across the state involved in poultry production. The Poultry Division has active committees in 35 counties throughout Alabama. Polices and programs developed at the county and state committee levels can be implemented into state and national initiatives by the organization. Alabama broiler producers marketed more than a billion birds in 2004, generating cash receipts that amounted to more than $2.4 billion.
All these people that Senator Orrin Hatch is calling up as if authorities about TPA is nonsense. No one, including all these CEOs have even read a bill yet, so what the heck is Hatch promoting "CEO wish lists?"
Give me a flyin' break. There are not 60 countries signing on to TPP. There are only 196 countries in the entire world.
This are the countries within the Pacific Rim; Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, North Korea, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, United States of Americaand Vietnam. That is a total of 30 countries. All these countries are not part of the TPP.
Senator Hatch has made a fool of himself by lying on the US Senator floor. I'm not going to listen to this. This is crazy, he doesn't even know the facts, but, he sure as hell knows his cronies.
