Nothing good will come of this. As long as our current Government pursues free trade, our country will continue the downward slide into a 3rd world country.
There is no reason to oppose CAFTA since it's so heavily in our favor.
No CAFTA, NAFTA, GATT, or any of this 15000 page "free" trade documents.
Gee, tough choice for the RATS, but I'm guessing they'll side with the guys who give them the most illegal money, and that would be the unions.
Easy one for me since I am an American with Hispanic roots. I hate unions!.. and I don't see that the commerce with this block of poor countries will hurt us really. Look at it another way, why only Mexico should get all the benefits of free trade? Either the entire block gets it or none.
It's not like Mexico is such a great neighbor, is it?
Good headline.
This is complete BS written by an idiot who either doesn't have a clue at what he's talking about or is just flat out lying!!!
The tariffs are not on imports from Guatemala. The tariffs are on exports from the U.S. to Guatamala. This is causing a trade imbalance leading to Guatamala and other Central American countries collecting U.S. dollars & spending them in other countries where they can avoid the ridiculous tariffs. Republicans are trying to have the tariffs removed so U.S. companies can sell more products to Central America transported on the same ships that are bringing the imports in. The Demorats are blocking it & misguided RINO's are cheering them on.
