Benefits of Free Trade - Ambassador William Brownfield

[denimdonna]

He looks like Bush's cousin or or Brzezinski's 1/2 brother or any one of the queen's bastard sons. Follow the bloodline and I bet you'll find a link. Did you know that Cheney and Obama are related by blood too? Obama made a joke about "not going to the family reunion anytime soon....but that they were cousins like 8 generations back or something." Now we may see the distance in a down the road cousin...but these bastards don't. It's paramount to their agenda.

this dork says colombia needs to have their own resource and revenue base in order for them to gain support from the int'l community (u.s. in particular)... what a load of shit... they already have one and we've made it illegal... maybe because it does not give the u.s. the financial advantage in the exchange

[westonsz]

With a name like Brownfield I am not suprised this guy supports free trade since it does create many brownfields here in the U.S. I suggest we see if we can trade Brownfield himself to China for a few dollars that could pay the deficit off that the worthless, lying politicians here have ran up at the expense of our children. If free trade is so great then why is our country falling apart and going bankrupt?

[FireProMMA]

I'm sorry, but I can't take this guy seriously.

Free trade is the tactic used by King George to undermine the colonial economy in attempt to stop Americans from gathering wealth.  This is a matter of history and it led to the revolutionary war. That should tell you all you need to know about it. The founders would call it treason. The two parties call it free trade. These people should be brought to justice for this treachery.

[navh2000]

If all is good and all is well then why Are you making 8 trillion bailouts. 18 million homes repoed about 30 million working Americans dependant on food banks. Sounds like trade deals have been good for corporations not people.

[havoc092]

@navh2000 Good question, which, btw, you're not supposed to ask. All the jobs lost resulted in people having no incomes to pay mortgages with. That caused the housing collapse. We're being fed a line by the media and the parties that the housing collapse, rather, caused the economy to collapse. There's no end to the deciet. The solution is to run the globalist two party system out of existence and try these people for high crimes.

If You export Your Job for a dollar less an hour, where will you work ?

Note : all of the other Jobs have also been exported away for less wages already .

also We bought your house and raised the rent... how will you pay it now ?

The Pizza shack is hiring and you can rent a place in Detroit really cheap.

or you could be a volunteer farm worker for free keep in the southern states.

Free trade is destroying Americas way of life

[22popuser]

Free trade is greed. Companies dump US workers and produce in China paying $100/mo wages then sell here for big bucks. Republican free traitors love to partner with communists. Freedom in China is choosing a brand of ketchup. Forming a union or speaking against the government gets you a bullet in the head and you become a source for body parts. Free trade exported US industries and gave us unprecedented levels of unemployment and depression. Buy local American, then Vote out ALL Free Traitors!

[Evasively]

This man's voice is the most obnoxious I've ever heard.

He speaks in such a patronising tone.

[KI2459]

why are you talking like a retard for?

[mujaku]

Free-trade is not win-win. It is more this way: many will lose--a few will win. Even Karl Marx [1848] understood this who viewed free-trade as a means to revolution because "the free-trade system is destructive". There are, in fact, many losers in free trade who tend to be at the bottom of the wage ladder while there are only a few winners who tend to be large international corporations.

[migkillertwo]

"Free-trade is not win-win. It is more this way: many will lose--a few will win"

so tell me, why has the absolute poverty rate declined in countries which have embraced free trade?

[dax313xab]

Free Trade = Segregated Slavery

Last I checked, there wasnt much benefit to that!

As Americans we should stand up for FREEDOM and equal trade

NOT Free Trade

[migkillertwo]

free trade IS fair trade

[MasterPervy123]

only for the rich..........Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable, JFK

[ronII1974]

free trade forces companies to pursue the lowest common denominator of behavior, Increases reliance on fossil fuels and generally suppresses wages of rich and poor nations. Support fair trade Try to buy Local and buy used. Try to Reject predatory capitalism.

[fuelatitia]

he must did something bad in his other life... so he has to do some thing good in this one

[fuelatitia]

this TLC must be aproved when the sindicalism were assured from abusment of the traders and companies' leaders.... about the rest ...this reptilian was not so wrong

[benjamaiLL]

mbmart2005, I was talking about the manufacturing sector that exports. I thought I made that clear when I said the export sector. It's simple knowledge to anyone that pays any attention at all to economic news that the export sector is doing very well and farmers and ranchers are making major profits. You obviously haven't read a newspaper in a while. Haven't you noticed that food prices are going up? Who do you think grows food? What do you think the major good the US exports is?

[mbmart2005]

NAFTA=COLOMBIA=KOREA=MARS=THE MOON any agreement is the same loss of jobs in the USA and slaves working in the countries.AND DO NOT FORGET CORPORATE PROFIT THAT'S THE FIRST GOAL IN THE AGENDA.

Republicans = Corporate Agendas

[benjamaiLL]

Expanding free trade will create a larger market for the fastest growing sector of our economy, the export sector(agriculture and manufacturing.) If you want to create more jobs and revitalized the economy, you have to be in favor of free trade.

[mbmart2005]

Wow if you can show me wich manufacturing you are talking about.Because in the US reality the decline is obvious.There is a trade deficit not a surplus.Even ths department of labour have the tomorrow's jobs and let me tell you manufacturing jobs are gone also farmers and ranchers they are even shown in negative numbers.A nation wihout exports is like an island everything is high in price and they depend from imports.USA with great resources and workforce and corporations favoring free trade.WOW!

[TheEditorialist]

"if we...reduce the minimum wage to 16 cents an hour and legalize slave labor, then we could have free trade today."

**************

Be patient!

Inflation is working it's black magic on wages. $5.15 will purchase 18 cents worth of goods in your lifetime.

And anti-peonage laws are slowly being repealed (under the rubric of credit reform)

You will witness slavery and widespread poverty in the west in your lifetime, while on television everyone will be rich.

Just as I remember Mexico.

[toolshed333]

How would free trade result in the rest of the world living like Americans? I'm not sure I understand you. There is relatively high free trade among most OECD countries already and they are not all living as Americans, although their standards of living have been rising due to free trade. Millions of Chinese and Indians are seeing incomes rise due to economic deregulation. We can grow together through free trade, not the opposite which is what you seem to say. Economics is no zero sum game.

[toolshed333]

He is a very intelligent man. I hope one day we can open our borders to international trade 100% with an elimination of all tarrifs, quotas, etc.

[neotoy]

That can only happen when the rest of the world has our same level of rights and quality of life.. an impossibility given that we would need three earths worth of resources to support the industrial demand. Alternately if we reduce domestic consumption by 75%, reduce the minimum wage to 16 cents an hour and legalize slave labor, then we could have free trade today.
