The Trade Deals Are Complicated Because They Are Designed to Serve Special Interests

That minor detail was missing from Wonkblog's discussion of the proposed E.U.-U.S. trade agreement and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The piece begins by telling readers in the first sentence:

"Nailing down complicated international trade agreements, with a zillion different interests and moving parts, is no easy feat."

It then adds that the Obama administration will be trying to do two deals at once and that it will have to contend with opposition in Congress.
