President Obama says the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement is “the most progressive trade agreement the world has ever seen.” Maybe. But if we can’t see it, how can we know? Democrats (lots of them) say the trade pact is anything but progressive. So who’s right? Who can tell when it’s all being done in secrecy? We discuss on today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then I’m joined by Miles Grant, Communications Director of the National Wildlife Federation<\/a> and blogger at TheGreenMiles.com<\/a>, to talk about his recent piece on the nation’s “Roads to Nowhere”<\/a> and whether voters really want more of them. We discuss why new, expanded roads don’t solve traffic woes and why there’s such a disconnect between politicians’ billion-dollar new road projects and the public’s desire to repair the ones we already have.<\/p>\n

Plus: A recent IRS data hack<\/a> holds lessons (again) for Internet Voting proponents; Seattle literally rejects<\/a> Shell Oil’s shit, and much more on today’s BradCast<\/i>!<\/p>\n
