One American industry after another has been fleeing the U.S. for cheap labor.

We’ve been exporting jobs much more efficiently than products.

I see nothing wrong with going back to the negotiating table with some countries as it concerns trade.

Actually, just prior to this recession our unemployment rate was under 5%. How can you claim that we have been losing jobs? Are you claiming that without trade our unemployment would have been lower? Do you have any evidence to support that claim? Free trade has been disproportionally good for our country (probably because we have been most committed to free trade). Why would you want to kill the proverbial goose?
