There were a few challenges to Corporate Empire in the most recent State of the Union speech but few lasting policy changes he can make without the co-operation of Congress . What is most scary is his promises to work with Republicans to fast Track the TPPP Trans Pacific Partnership (giveaway loss of democratic control of environmental laws ; local land use control ; Labor civil rights and many other terrible laws ) An agreement with several Pacific Rim countries and the USA crafted in secret by US Trade representatives and multinational corporations . No environmental ;labor or scientific NGOs were invited to participate in the negotiations. Fast Track will allow no debate or discussion of the ramifications in congress just a yes or no !
