Trade Round 2: Should Congress Approve the 'Fast-Track' for Free Trade Agreements (Like TPP)?

ARGUMENT FOR:

There is bipartisan agreement that this bill will open markets for U.S. exports, give the U.S. more access to imports, and save average consumers money. Congress would still have a chance to weigh in, and ultimately approve or deny any trade agreements.

ARGUMENT AGAINST:

This bill doesn't protect American workers who could lose their jobs because of the increased competition from "fast-tracked" trade agreements. It also gives too much negotiating power to the President and corporations — not the American people.
