Can anyone explain in simple terms what "fast tracking" actually means? Does it put a cap on how long congress can consider the bill before voting? Does it block amendments?

That's the way it's always been done right? This isn't a diplomatic matter, it's pure business. The government regulates large scale business matters all the time (monopolies, etc), what's so special about the TPP?

Kalman posted:It helps pharmaceutical companies actually see a return on the extremely high investments that biologics require, which leads them to actually invest in creating biologics. Hm yes and allowing Pharma companies to cling to old patents for longer in order to boost profits will certainly boost innovation because Hint: Most "innovation" on drugs isn't done at Pharma companies, it's done at research universities, who see far less monetary return on the research than the companies will.
