According to activists Senate Democrats have an opportunity to stop the fast-track authority for the Pacific.  I must say after the horrific killings in Charleston, South Carolina, it should be obvious we need to take care of our own problems, such as racism.  Racism, while a choice, also has an economic component.  More on this later.

 

 

N.B.  I realize this is a rather fast elision of topics.  However, the point should be self-evident.  We need to preserve American jobs as a way of cutting down on wandering youth, as Roof is said to have been.  As I indicated above, there is much more to the story.  But most assuredly fast-track for far-away Pacific nations in the way it is set forth in TPP should not be part of that story.
