America needs a strong manufacturing sector to sustain robust economic growth that creates new businesses, jobs and opportunities for all. Manufacturing is responsible for 70 percent of U.S. R&D, and often spins off entire new industries. But since 2000, American manufacturing has lost thousands of factories and 5 million jobs. The top reason: poorly conceived “free trade” agreements that Washington has pushed, including NAFTA, CAFTA and Korea and China joining the World Trade Organization.
Given the record of job outsourcing and factory closings, it is troubling that Congress has just given President Barack Obama fast track power to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, which will only lead to more job loss and higher trade deficits....

Now you did it!
The best way to bring business back is not to punish them for leaving but to create the fertile ground for them to grow here. Eliminate taxes and regulations where ever possible and support American energy production to help bring operating costs down.
Ted Cruz Ping! Oh no .. watch out ..these are the dreaded one world crony commies. Just kidding for those who need such reassurance.
You can’t exactly say “Sen. Ted Cruz stood firmly against fast track.” In fact he was a proponent. While I’m glad he came around on this I suspect his vote had more to do with backroom dealing and strong opposition than the substance of the trade agreements.
Interesting indeed.
China took a big hit in their markets.
If China’s economy crashes the US won’t be able to borrow money so the national debt will become a top priority issue soon in this presidential race.
It’s strange how the issue of the $ 18 Trillion debt has been put on the back burner, but this issue to deal with the national debt with China’s weak economy will be the bull in a china shop issue very shortly.
Business will put their money where their mouth is and pocket book and support the candidate that starts tackeling the issue of taxes, regulations, poor economic growth to get our economy growing again and bring manufacturing back to American shores.
Soon people won’t care about issues like having the first woman as president, or if women can get free abortion on demand, or free contriceptions.
So the PRESIDENT of a large industry association doesn’t know what he’s talking about but you do? Guess what? I’m going with the expert on this one...
We’ll just mint some trillion dollar platinum coins, as was proposed several years ago. No sweat.
Yeah, unless they found a huge goldmine they ain’t telling us about.
There are many different sections and subsections of those trade deals. Go back and re-read posts, especially those that are actually from Senator Cruz or his people.
I don’t have the time or inclination to go round-and-round with you, but several people here have put together charts, links and graphs on the subject.
Thank you for acknowledging that I am correct.
That isn’t what I said, but if that makes you feel good, run with it.
Personally I like Cruz but I don't believe deception is a convincing political argument, nor do I believe that Cruz is opposed to the trade agreements which depend on FTA for passage. This letter is nothing more than an attempt to rewrite history.
