Very interesting I see that DEM William Jefferson voted yes, Who represents very Democractic New Orleans voted Yes, while REPUB Bobby Jindal voted no. Be interested to know why. Both districts have heavy union influence though the Baton Rouge District that Jindal represents might have more.

[Tulane]

Agree...this is good.

[johnb838]

It's ok, CBS Radio news said it's small potatos, only a half dozen poor central american countries. After all, look what NAFTA has done for Mexico.

[GPBurdell]

Thank you to the GOP members who stood up to the pressure from the Protectionists.

Right On! I'm proud that my Congressman, John Linder, voted for CAFTA.

[Adder]

Looks like most of the NC delegation voted "nay".
Good.
We have bitten enough bullets for this lifetime so everyone else can buy cheap tee shirts and folding chairs.

[Tulane]

New Orleans is on the mouth of the Mississippi (think trade port)...Baton Rougue has all the factories in the state (think manufacturing going abroad).

[Young Scholar]

I'm glad to see that my congresswoman, Sue Kelly, supported this. She's often on the "moderate" side, but at least she tends to support the free market.

[Syds Dad]

Thats funny because an average of 3 million jobs a year were created since Nafta, and exports to Nafta countries have grown twice as much vs the rest of the world.

Yes, we just got murdered by Nafta.. What a horrible 5% unemployment rate. What's the matter with us. :rolleyes:

[HostileTerritory]

Most Americans benefit from free trade. A few pay a high cost, but so did the buggy-whip manufacturers. I pay less for clothes and linens than my grandparents did, and I'd never want to work in a textile mill anyway.

My representative, a liberal 'RAT, voted no. He and his party are wrong on this as they are on everything else. When you see 90% of the Democrats going one way and 90% of the Republicans and President George W. Bush going the other way, shouldn't that tell you something?

[Tulane]

Good points...that 12% unemployment in protectionistic France and 10% in Germany should would be fun to attain...

[johnb838]

There is no free trade without fair trade. Trading with countries that we can buy from cheap because they can exploit their workers in ways workers here can't be exploited is simply our government shackling american workers. Hey, if we MUST work in dangerous sweatshops to compete, then that' what we have to do. We can't have all these rules and then sit idle.

OTOH, with all the kvetching and complaining, we are at full employment and the economy is still heating up.

American Families Are Hungry Too; CAFTA-DR's Passage Questioned

[byteback]

Mine voted No but what can I expect. She also wants to ban the boy scouts from federal land because they don't accept homos.

[Young Scholar]

Ron Paul only opposed it because he's not in favor of free-trade "agreements." He knows free trade is beneficial, period, and wants us to unilaterally remove trade barriers.

[Freebird Forever]

Do you even attempt to remove the boot polish from your tongue?

[HostileTerritory]

Someone else represents Baton Rouge--Richard Baker, I think. Jindal represents Metairie and the other suburbs.

[Tarpon]

Unions lose, good for America. Protectionism never works.

[HostileTerritory]

And another buggy-whip maker chimes in...

[Syds Dad]

NAFTA just crippled the United States didn't it?

Look out how great Germany, France, and the rest of Europe are doing economically with their 0.2% GDP growth and double digit unemployment.
