Wyden tried to make it sound like he was making this better, much like he's trying to make TPP "better" for us too with this crazy "Fast Track" legislation.

It was interesting that right about the same time at the end of 2011 when he was talking with Paul Ryan on this deal was about the same time he got surgery for his prostate cancer... Seems like interesting timing. Not sure if it had to do with anything of him working with Ryan then.

I thin Ron Wyden needs to understand that there are some issues like Social Security, Medicare, and TPP and like "free trade" deals, that real Democrats don't want us to compromise on.

His best way of keeping things "better" regarding Fast Track or TPP legislation is to just say NO to both of them. Hope he can come up with a logical way to transition to these positions before 2016, or I might be part of the group here to push DeFazio to run for the senate then.
