Democrats, White House reach agreement on revised NAFTA trade pact
« on: December 10, 2019, 03:46:37 pm »
After months of negotiations and a last-minute hitch involving Mexico, the White House and House Democrats have reached a deal that clears the way for passage of a revised North American free-trade pact.
“We got the agreement, we’re going to go with it,” House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Richard E. Neal (D-Mass.) said Tuesday. Neal’s committee handles trade policy in the House.

Although the announcement of the deal comes on the same day that House leaders unveiled their impeachment resolution against Trump, “you can’t control the timing,” Neal said.

“Sometimes they coincide — there’s not much you can do about it. I repeatedly noted that when we got the agreement, we would go with it,” he said.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

From reading the headlines on CNN website and even FOX News website, it would seem that Pelosi and the DEMS are responsible for the USCMA deal, while they also impeach the President who is responsible for the deal!  How clever!

I'm betting this agreement will be another cluster-*beep* like the last one.  Anything "bipartisan" is generally bad.

Now that we have the greatest economy in history, this should fix it.

Labor Federation President Richard Trumka on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), provided final text accurately reflects changes: 

Make no mistake, we demanded a trade deal that benefits workers and fought every single day to negotiate that deal; and now we have secured an agreement that working people can proudly support.

I am grateful to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her allies on the USMCA working group, along with Senate champions like Sherrod Brown and Ron Wyden, for standing strong with us throughout this process as we demanded a truly enforceable agreement. I also commend Ambassador Robert Lighthizer for being a straight shooter and an honest broker as we worked toward a resolution.

Looks fine to me.  More good news...when it's passed we can find out what's in it.
