Kirk and others in the Obama administration have worked hard to build a coalition in support of the trade deal. Powerful business groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers have come out in support of the deal, and prior opponents like the automaker Ford are also now on board.
To help win automakers support, the White House renegotiated the deal and won some concessions from the Koreans. For example, tariffs on Korean cars will be phased out over five years instead of being eliminated immediately. In addition, Korean environmental and safety rules will be changed to allow U.S. cars to enter their market.
Changes like that also helped split labor, which traditionally opposes trade agreements. The United Auto Workers (UAW) and the United Food and Commercial Workers are supporting the trade deal, while the AFL-CIO and other labor groups are against.
She has a right to her opinion. But you Liberals had the Congress and the Presidency for two years and the employment outlook is still grim so shut the fuck up.Lisa Murkowski: GOP Should Work On Economy, Not Health Care Repeal
Health care companies and ensuring they make big money is more important to Repugs than the economy which affects all people.

The GOP attack over that has been that the administration focused too much on healthcare and not on the economy,
and now the GOP'ers are doing exactly that.
Get it? The irony?
Oh, and there's an 800 lb. gorilla of a reason the Republicans don't want to focus on the economy - they have no plan to help the economy. Period.
In fact, their plan, budget cutting, is a job killer.

LOL; and you Republicans held the White House and both Houses of Congress from January 2001 until January 2007 and managed:
Not to acknowledge an annual double digit increase in medical insurance;
Not to protect our nation from the worst attack in history;
Not to balance a budget;
Not to reduce the public dept;
Not to recognize climate change was a real and pressing issue;
Not to develop a comprehensive energy policy.
Not to protect our nation from the worst attack in history;
Just a bit of the history of Fannie Mae.
In 1992, President George H.W. Bush signed the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. The Act amended the charter of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to reflect Congress' view that the GSEs "have an affirmative obligation to facilitate the financing of affordable housing for low-income and moderate-income families."[14] For the first time, the GSEs were required to meet "affordable housing goals" set annually by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and approved by Congress. The initial annual goal for low-income and moderate-income mortgage purchases for each GSE was 30% of the total number of dwelling units financed by mortgage purchases[15] and increased to 55% by 2007.
In 1999, Fannie Mae came under pressure from the Clinton administration to expand mortgage loans to low and moderate income borrowers by increasing the ratios of their loan portfolios in distressed inner city areas designated in the CRA of 1977.[16] Because of the increased ratio requirements, institutions in the primary mortgage market pressed Fannie Mae to ease credit requirements on the mortgages it was willing to purchase, enabling them to make loans to subprime borrowers at interest rates higher than conventional loans. Shareholders also pressured Fannie Mae to maintain its record profits.[16]
In 2000, because of a re-assessment of the housing market by HUD, anti-predatory lending rules were put into place that disallowed risky, high-cost loans from being credited toward affordable housing goals. In 2004, these rules were dropped and high-risk loans were again counted toward affordable housing goals.[17]
