Why do you think the global economy is “progressing” in this way that the free traders in the US are out and a Marxist is in? How are the capitalists going to get out from under the weight of the world's government(s) and unions.
It is bad enough to be dealing with Unions in our country. It will be insufferable to work with international unions protected by trade agreements.
There is going to be “change.” It's not going to be good. We would be better off heading it off at the pass with an alternatively less destructive alternative that is good for our country.
I'll ask you to name one, and then indicate their postion regarding the FTA's we are negotiating with Panama, Colombia, or South Korea.
