Yeah, a really principled guy . . . I should try to find out why he would vote in favor of a free trade agreement with Oman. Probably some employer in his district.
He voted in favor of free trade with Oman to try and help U.S. relations in the Middle East. If we are going to keep troops in the region, it would be nice to have as many “friends” as possible.
Also, I’m sure the environment in Oman are such that businesses save billions in manpower simply by relocating there.
