Lacy MacAuley discusses the Panama trade agreement. People and planet should come before profits, but the proposed Panama trade plan would mean greed rules. The Senate Finance committee is meeting tomorrow to discuss the proposed Panama Trade Promotion Agreement. Top trade negotiator Ron Kirk is trying to ram through this agreement by July 1, when the Panamanian head of state Martin Torrijos leaves office. But this is just another free trade agreement that is bad for the people of Panama, its bad for the planet, and its no good for people of the US. We should call upon Congress to stop it now.

very sad.
why they do not take into account the social aspect into any treaty?
do they do that on purpose? make people miserable so they would be able to employ them for free? after that we ask: why people want to grow drugs? why people want to jump over the border.The reason is obvious and staring us in the face THESE TREATIES. Do you think anyone has the power would listen? I doubt it!!!!
