They are efforts to run out the clock before the outcome of the game can be changed and I am having trouble of thinking of examples of when this has not turned out to be the effective situation on the ground in recent times.
No, three months isn't sufficient time to read, analyze, and effectively push back particularly when there is a corporate media that eats up these "agreements", a calcified beltway preference for voodoo economics, significant Republican support and the most likely to support Democrats love to thumb their noses at liberals and like to pal around with regressives. Plus, we have become a very risk adverse party, nothing is shouted down with a big fat thumb on the scales like a primary threat. The single issue boo birds will fly and the wagons will circle.
I think you are wrong, I don't think you are wrong with malicious intent but still dangerously wrong just as is the President.
Sorry based on the history of such efforts, it is on the proponents to present a compelling case that it is beneficial to America and her workers. History does not support a privileged default position or even one of even cautious neutrality but rather assumed toxic until proven otherwise because that is the lesson experience should have impressed way before now.
