Personally, I wish the United States had stayed in.

Libertarians are enamoured of such agreements because their names always include comething about “free trade” even though they are certainly not free trade. The only system that makes sense in the Free Trade department is Free Trade. That is one country, particularly a dominant one, declare Free Trade then implement it withinits own jurisdiction. That is eliminating all barriers to trade and especially the tax and regulation barriers a government imposes on the merchants and industries in its own borders. In a Free Trade milieu the US worker can outcompete anyone in the world because the productivity of each man hour makes American labor cheaper as a percentage of production than any other national sort. Other nations that erect or maintain barriers to protect their own industry will make favored businessmen into rich fishes in a poor pond with a market limited to its own borders.
