Senator Ted Cruz Did Support TPA – and Secretary Kerry asked China To Join TPP a Week ago…

HR2146 (TPA “Trade Promotion Authority” or “Fast Track”): This House Bill #2146 originating April 30th ’15, became the vehicle for passage of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal.

HR2146 was originally introduced in the House of Representatives as a bill to address issues with retirement funds of federal law enforcement officers and firefighters.

In April of 2015 Senator Ted Cruz and House Ways and Means Chairman, Representative Paul Ryan, supported TPA being added to HR2146. Their support was most notable when they posted the following Op-Ed which appeared in the Wall Street Journal on April 22nd:

Putting Congress in Charge on Trade | U.S. Congressman Paul Ryan

On May 12th HR2146 passed/agreed to in House: On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill, as amended. Agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: (2/3 required): 407 – 5 (Roll no. 220). (text: CR H2848) The bill passed the house 407-5 because it was not controversial.

As planned, on June 4th 2015 The senate passed the house bill “with changes” notably an amendment “adding TPA” (thanks to Ted Cruz) and TAA (needed for Elizabeth Warren coalition) By unanimous consent thereby avoiding a roll vote on record.

Pages H4507-4518 - Jun 18, 2015

On June 18, 2015 the House accepted the TPA change (Paul Ryan spearhead) and removed TAA (the financial assistance package for training of union workers – this angered the Pelosi Dems). Nancy Pelosi had to be arm twisted by the White House to go along with HR2146 with TAA spending removed – she acquiesced.

A good reason to support Trump!

He is bad for American jobs!

According to the DC crowd- Shitty trade deals are ok, as long as they're done under the guise of "Free Trade".

So what if China and other countries add a tax on American goods and services? "Free trade" is holy!

As long as third world countires like China, Mexico, Indonesia,Vietnam, and others can send us their good and services without duty or tariffs- that is what is important.

Because we have lost so many jobs (due to bad trade deals) , it's more important than ever to keep a steady supply of cheap imports. That is why we must support more "Free Trade".

Right?

Yeah well, then Cruz stood on the floor of congress and called turtle face a LIAR, because they all fed him a line of BULL SHIT about the TPA, and then he OPPOSED it.

Right?

"Free Trade" only works when countries follow the "Law Of Comparative Advantage." But that is not what CON$ mean by "Free Trade."

Yea, but the corporate democrats are not really corporatists. Right?
I see you are still a hack after all these years.
BTW, the day the whole world practices comparative advantage, is when labor is mobile and the world is globalized.
Free trade is very much possible without all that globalist/conform bullshit. You just wouldn't know it when the way Washington has run our economy for decades.

It is obvious from you posting this: "BTW, the day the whole world practices comparative advantage, is when labor is mobile and the world is globalized."

Comparative Advantage works for all countries that follow it no matter how many other countries do not. All that matters is that trading countries produce goods and services at different levels of efficiency. The advantage of free trade comes from producing what is most efficient and trading for the rest. Countries that do not follow the Law Of Comparative Advantage only screw themselves, so while it may lead to a more mobile labor force and globalization in the long run, they are not required in any way to exist first for a country to benefit from the advantage.

Bullshit.
What if a country that practiced it, tried trading with China. China can make 80% of stuff cheaper than the rest of the world.
That's why Chinas trade deficit is so fuckin badass.

It would be to China's advantage to trade what it produced most efficiently for what it produces less efficiently even if it could produce 100% of its goods more efficiently than the rest of the world. That is the beauty of the Law Of Comparative advantage!!!! It is a shame that you don't understand it.

Yea, Chinas advantage. Are you Chinese? Are Europeans Chinese? What about Austrians? Or Koreans? Russians? Mexicans? Americans?
That's why I said labor would have to be mobile(to even compete) and globalization would have to be the world economy.
You might know what comparative advantage is, but you don't understand it. Obviously.

Both sides benefit from the Law Of Comparative Advantage, not just China but also those who trade with China if China follows the law and trades what it produces most efficiently for what it produces less efficiently.

It is tough to discuss the Law with you when you have no idea what it is or how it works.

How is 100% importing good?

No one said 100% importing, the only mention of 100% was that even if one country can produce everything more efficiently than their trading partner, it is to both countries advantage for the 100% country A to produce only what can make most efficiently and TRADE with country B for what country A produces less efficiently. All that is required is that within itself country A produces goods at different efficiencies. Under the Law of Comparative Advantage, NO country is at a trade disadvantage.
