We think it's in your interest that Congress passes it this time. Fast track doesn't bypass Congress. It provides for Congress to help set trade negotiation objectives and requires the president to consult Capitol Hill throughout the talks. That's a case of too many cooks, and a proven recipe for getting nowhere fast. Business' ability to create jobs at home depends increasingly on foreign trade.
Exports account for a third of America's economic growth.
How much we sell, however, depends on the rules of the game. Let's help ourselves and not let another year go by without fast track.
