Not a big fan of CAFTA, but since we already allowed tax free imports from most of these countries I'm glad we will at least going to be able to send our goods there tax free as well. We do need to get control of trade. I also support low revenue tariffs (1% or 2% rather than the 50% to 100% protective tariffs) to help pay for border patrols and securing the ports against terrorists. I always think of it like a flee market. You can trade all you want, but you have to pay the owner a small fee to get in the door.

The ancient Egyptians believed that you remained alive so long as you were remembered and your name was spoken. Long live the great Ronald Reagan!
