TPP talks: Heritage Foundation complains about "excessive U.S. posturing on environmental standards

and labor regulations."

Unfortunately, TPP negotiations to date have included excessive U.S. posturing on environmental standards and labor regulations. There is a danger of further such posturing as a proposed U.S.–European Union FTA moves forward.

Of course the last thing conservatives want to see included in TPP is anything on "on environmental standards and labor standards".

If Heritage is unhappy about Obama's 'posturing' in TPP on the environment and labor rights, then I am happy

That is an advocate for unsafe working conditions and human slavery...but won't admit to its true agenda.

The Heritage Foundation is filled with the most evil, vilest people since Caligula was Emperor...

...that is denied to equivalent liberal/progressive think tanks?

Oh, right, there is no equivalency. There's no "think" in Heritage's tank, just spin.
