Serious problems can arise when traditional safeguards in our government are bypassed in favor of Fast Track.
Trade is one thing, but churning markets to earn a return where no real value is realized is something else. With serious problems from bacterial contamination in some of this country's produce, even seemingly innocuous fresh vegetables and fruit, it seems absurd that we would allow the importation of something so obviously perilous as poultry from a third world behemoth like China.
Buying chicken from China adds all new meaning to the phrase, "Are you going to eat that?"
How many times, in how many ways, must we subject ourselves to risks from food borne illness? How many times must we deny our own industries the right to their domestic markets? How much risk should our citizens shoulder while confronting the administrations global trade angst that seems to say we must export raw products and bear the burden of buying them back in a different form as our own industries and jobs that accompany them decline?
Service industries are a great component of a healthy economy. But service industries in a nation offering jobs none other than that are doomed to failure when the citizens they propose to cater to have no meaningful, productive job of their own.
Fast Track under this Administration appears to provide fuel for day-tripping down a road to Nowhere.
