Unfortunately, I see none have replied so I guess they didn't think they had to read anything factual that might conflict with their knee-jerk hand-wringing.

Yes, I had to read (some) it before I passed some type of judgment. To sum up CAFTA: trading without tariffs - good news for the free traders.

Why don't you read one of the agreements sometime. Maybe you could post the text. Readers will see for themselves that the agreements are only about trade in a small part. The other purposes of the agreements are clear, if you would only read them.
