Dragging My Feet On TPP

President Obama wants to pass the TPP

(That's the Trans-Pacific Partnership to you and me.)

Says it levels playing fields for U.S. companies

In the Asian markets but not everyone agrees.

Unions fear it lowers wages; workers earning less.

Some say new rules will leave the environment a mess.

Wiki-Leaks has pages showing bankers get a break...

I think that a "fast-track" for this bill is a mistake.

I agree we need a deal but this might not be it.

Don't we want more time to stop and look at it a bit?

NAFTA killed the middle class so, though I favor trade,

There are problems I want fixed before this deal gets made.
