because I want less government intereference in trade,

So if this "Free Trade" deal requires $2.7 Billion of government interference, with money confiscated from American taxpayers, that's somehow "less government interference"?

Your logic is twisted.

It's not interference, it's opening up markets. You protectionists on the other hand want to restrict trade, force consumers to make choices that are, in the end, going to be made in Washington.

Yet you claim to be conservatives. That's definitely twisted.

How do you feel about 15% of the annual US budget being spent on income security (farm price supports)? The DOHA proposal calls for a cut of 60% in price supports to US farmers. How much money will that save the taxpayers? How much government interference in the economy will be eliminated then? If investing $2.7 Billion could save you $50 billion would you be in favor? Or, is welfare ok as long as it goes to Americans?
