Repukes heads explode - Obama bans slave goods in US

[packman]

"President Barack Obama signed a bill Wednesday that includes a provision banning U.S. imports of fish caught by slaves in Southeast Asia, gold mined by children in Africa and garments sewn by abused women in Bangladesh, closing a loophole in an 85-year-old tariff law that has failed to keep products of forced and child labor out of America."

Wonder how they are going to oppose this? Probably tying the hands of free enterprise.

1. In order for Obama to sign the bill,

Congress would have passed the legislation. We can celebrate that even in this
climate of vitriol, significant legislation passed that could actually improve lives around
the world. This is great news, indeed.

3. If TTP trade deal goes through

If TTP trade deal goes through, then corporations can sue our government because this law will affect their profits.

Ever the technocrat, he's just throwing a bone to the working class, one that'll be undone thousandfold once he railroads the TPP through.
