===Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)===
"I support free, fair trade, but I’m sick of America’s workers getting punched in the gut."
"We don’t create good jobs for Americans by entering into unbalanced trade deals that forgo congressional scrutiny and ignore the law only to import low-wage labor, undercut American workers, and drive wages lower than the Dead Sea."
"I cannot support giving this administration trade promotion authority (TPA) for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)" with given the following reasons:*Obama administration cannot be trusted to negotiate on behalf of the American people.*President Obama should sort out a clear, honest framework of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) with Congress before horse-trading with foreign bureaucrats.*Political pressure from Obama administration will force Congress to accept even a lousy TPP agreement.*Poorly crafted TPP will worsen problems on immigration and currency manipulation, such as number of foreign workers and artificially cheap imports. "We need to expand trade and work with partners across the globe to grow our economy. However, this Administration (TPA) cannot be trusted to negotiate a deal that makes sense for American workers.
