From Inside the Beltway: Don't listen to what I say - watch what I do

4. Those are both

truly insightful and interesting concepts.

I had considered elements of Scenario #1 from a number of angles and it left me grumbling about what travesties were allowed to pass into thefog of time considering what the previous admin. did to this country. And I could find validity in each aspect of my imaginings.

I had never really developed anything as advanced as your Scenario #2 though I had wondered at the connection with the players. Your thoughts make a lot of sense... the connection I was exploring was that Bill was the NAFTA guy and it would appear that he likes this bigger, better, new and improved version but I wasn't clear what he would get out of it. But you do make some really good points here, bravo!

I will admit that I was wondering whether the president was "playing" a tune by saying all he was at liberty to reveal while hoping that Congress and voters would reject it for perhaps different reasons respectively but that he would let the process kill it. I can't imagine that he would put us in that set of shackles and totally destroy our sovereignty like that. I always figured that someone had a figurative gun to his head from the corporate sector and that was the motivation for his seemingly positive stance on such an egregious heap of rubbish. He's allowed some really bad policy into the federal register that I am really upset with but this TPP thing is just way too much. I don't know if I could stay in this country if that became law. Don't know where I'd go but I think I would have to renounce my citizenship.

I need to ponder these ideas for a day or so now, new material and a new perspective to consider.

Thanks for the food for thought!
