Grassley Hates Labor and Environmental Standards

I didn't say it, Grassley said it himself. Grassley had this quote in the National Journal on Wednesday...

“I don’t see [fast track authority] being extended without some accommodation for labor and the environment, as much as I hate to see that.” - Sen Charles Grassley (R-IA)

David Sirota wrote this about Grassley's comments...

This is about as honest a statement I’ve seen from someone from the Money Party. Grassley, like other K Street-backed “free” traders in both parties, really do hate the idea of trade deals preventing Corporate America from exploiting cheap labor, terrible environmental conditions and legalized oppression in the developing world in order to outsource American jobs and drive down American wages/benefits.

I guess, at least we know where Grassley stands on the issue. Luckily, Grassily isn't a committee chair anymore and is nearing retirement.
