It was a hollow victory for us however. This managed and regulated trade deal of 2400 pages written by lawyers and bureaucrats is not something Republicans should be supporting.

A trade agreement should take a couple of paragraphs. We won't charge you tariffs on all imports if you won't charge us tariffs on exports and deal with subsidies.

This trade deal has a clause about the service sector trade can't have immigration restrictions put on it which violate the act. So control of illegal immigration would violate the act.

I was against NAFTA, GATT, WTO, MFN for China. I believe in trading our products with countries that have elected governments and have an economic system where multinationals like NIKE, IBM, Maytag, etc. don't close up shop and move to low wage countries that have no regulations or standards and ship products back to us duty free.

That is not free trade, that is treasonous in the long run.
