When? A year? 2? 5? 20?
You can’t have “free trade” when the other countries opperate by completely different rules.
Why not? If they are free to sell here and we are free to sell there, why isn't that free trade?
When country __________ can pay its workers $1 a month with no benefits and no environmental regulation. No US company can compete.
When the EPA is regulating our manufacturers out of business, is lack of regulation elsewhere the issue?
Any conservative that supports trade pacts like TPP really need to examine the underlying motives. These trade pacts are not about free markets. Their goal is undermining our national sovereignty, and our Constitution, and most importantly our endowed American rights- for the sake of profits for global (not American) corporations. Conservative and corporatist views may have been somewhat in alignment in 1960, but not in 2015 when big business has no specific US citizenship.
I agree completely.
