You obviously didn't read the post did you? It will impact the textile industry, which is already in trouble as it is. If your not familiar with what textiles are, basically it's the cloths on your back, and other fabrics that are used for things such as furniture covers, etc. There are a few companies that are doing well in the industry, but an agreement such as this could negatively affect them.

If I recall correctly, textile manufacturers are usually in favor of free trade agreements than not. It's the garment industries that usually find themselves on the bubble.

I did read the article, but there is nothing new there that hasn't been raised and discussed here many times before.
None of the arguments are winners, which is why the legislation always passes. Fortunately, slightly more than 50% of the country aren't total dopes.
