Currently, there is an unholy "alliance" between Obama and congressional GOP'ers regarding the expedited passing of the TPP......(a trade agreement which I label as regressive.)
Trying to get some democrats in congress to join in passing such legislation, right wingers are proposing to add funding to the "Trade Adjustment Assistance" (TAA) program (a program to help train displaced workers from such trade agreements.)
The problem, however, is that these republicans are planning to fund the TAA by "robbing" $700 million from MEDICARE allocations.
Wouldn't a cut from the Pentagon budget be better?
