I just pose one question to the Senators in support of this bill:
What, in your opinion, are free trade agreements for and what should they accomplish?
FTA's are meant to break down economic barriers allowing countries to specialise in the production of goods in at which they are most skilled and most efficient in producing. It strengthens many countries by providing them access to a large market for there goods, namely the Atlasian middle class. It also benefits us cause it provides a market for our capitol goods, machinery, and other goods and services they can't produce yet or can't produce efficently but need for there industries or need to build there industries.
An FTA should simply be an agreement between two or more countries in which Trade barriers are removed or reduced by both countries. They should not include any legal or Political superstructures superior to the agreeing countries gov't. This would mean I would have voted against NAFTA and most RL trade agreements.
