Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Deal Is Reached
Just a reminder: the TPP, like most trade deals, is <i>negotiated</i> in secret, but <i>ratified</i> in public. The final version of the deal will be published in 30 days, and then Congress gets 90 days to consider before an up-or-down vote.<p>The 90-day thing is a result of Trade Promotion Authority granted by Congress to the administration. This is the "fast track" Congress voted to allow the President. It means the bill can't be filibustered.
