Meh, being against a horrific deal is a far cry from being against freetrade. Nice try Salon.
Agree. Also, IMHO, free trade doesn't work with countries who have centralized government control of labor costs and who subsidize their own industries, even at a temporary loss, to flood foreign markets and put foreign competitors out of business. IMHO both political parties are culpable for what's happened to our foreign trade, for different reasons.
Reich has been and will always be dishonest. This was a secret back room deal that smelled nothing of “free trade”. No wonder it was defeated.
