And therein lies the problem, Wall Street is not regulated and is presently the biggest casino in the world.

What you don't understand DJ is that we on the left often have disagreement amongst ourselves and that we are OK with that. Actually it's healthy.

While over on your side everyone has to march in lockstep like a bunch of carbon copy lemmings or else get thrown out.

It seems to me that ideologues of all stripes tend to be lemmings. FWIW, it's been the Left who seem like ideological lemmings when it comes to the TPP.

If it is all so bloody great why is it that only corporations that have been allowed to see it and comment?

If that's the case why isn't this moving forward and also why is this so secretive? For a GOP controlled congress who would rather see Obama hang, they now trust him to give him fast track authority on a very important trade agreement? So who is hiding what and why?

Sorry to burst your bubble but when it comes down to choosing the next president, we Dems will be foursquare behind Clinton - Castro.
