*** Which isn’t even a trade deal.***

MFN: The principle, fundamental to the GATT, of treating imports from a country on the same basis as that given to the most favored other nation.

C’mon, just because your vaunted free trade is showing it’s evil side, no need to get nasty. Strictly speaking, it’s not a trade deal, but very much relates to trade, and balence thereof.

Getting a little picky as Rome burns?

Isn't it funny that, in the melamine case for example, we are finding manufacturers all over (including the U.S.) that have been adding it to their products, and all you can bring yourself to do is demagogue the issue of trade? Shouldn't you concern yourself with ensuring stuff is safe, first? If not, why are you more afraid of trade than poison?

The funny thing is in a free market, which we have, if people decide that the benefit of cheap imports is outpaced by the the danger of being poisoned, no one will buy them and it will cease to be a problem.

Only Dems thing people are too dumb to act in their own self interest. AHem.
