(ooh, big surprise) Penny Pritzker and Michael Froman push for TPP

In an increasingly competitive global marketplace, America must seize every opportunity. Through the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, we seek to open markets representing nearly two-thirds of global GDP (in current U.S. dollars). Negotiations to further open the world's services markets to competitive American companies, facilitate trade with World Trade Organization member countries, and increase trade in information technology products can all increase opportunities for American businesses and workers here at home.

I'm hopeful that it will get bogged down due to the NSA Spying which has some other governments nervous.

But, if they can ram it through in September when we are all distracted by the Budget Problems...they will do it. Probably one of those "Mid-Night" votes. The Repugs will vote for it. The Repugs all voted for Penny Pritzger... Which should have been the verification of the "Set Up."
