Comic book explains why the Transpacific Partnership serves no one but the ultra-rich

For a comic with a lot of pictures of rich guys with cigars, it was rather more balanced than I would have expected.

I’m not a big fan of what the TPP is likely to bring, but I will say that fast-tracking is pretty much the only way to negotiate a treaty. If you’re not going to fast-track, don’t bother wasting money and time on negotiations that cannot be passed. That’s simply dealing with other countries in bad faith. If it’s a bad treaty (like TPP might very will be), then vote it down, or better still, don’t bother negotiating in the first place.
