quote -- "tisa is open to all w.t.o. members" -- world trade organization members -- "who want to open up trade in services. chain and uruguay have asked to join the talks. the e.u. supports their applications." what have they got to do with europe? "the e.u. supports their op indications because it wants as many countries as possible to join the agreement." and to correct myself there tisa, of course, is a services agreement. and apparently it will be worldwide. anybody -- even china -- could be admitted to it. and the european union commission specifies that this services agreement tisa, will be modeled on the general agreement on trade in services, gats. and this provides insights into how tisa will affect u.s. immigration procedure. when the united states became a member of the w.t.o. in 1994, it signed on to the gats and committed to issue certain numbers of work visas each year, immigration visas. congress' ability to control the united states temporary entry programs has therefore been curtailed as it would open u

rules for the entire globe and everybody knows you won't be able to stop anything whether it's tpp or tisa, that's why john boehner is having a hard time. neil: very interesting. part of the subtext to all of this, you are hearing a lot of acronyms, two things we have to keep in mind, two key votes one is for the trade adjustment assistance which would grant special exemptions and allowances mostly to unions who fear they are hurt on the trade deal. that's a close vote. that goes the president's way, then you set up the big vote, the vote that would grant the president the authority to do up or down trade deals that not all republicans are buying but many more are democrats. one or the other gets a little rocky, those markets get a lot rocky. we're on both. more after this. . neil: all right, you are seeing play out on capitol hill something that could indicate the democratic party's final really jarring move to the left, if you're on the extreme left, you're happy with that, of the moderate bend you are concerned with, that if you are republican you are infuriated with that. today, if you
