trade agreements

Before our country enters into any free trade agreement, the minimum wage of the other country needs to be the same as ours and also the mean wage needs to equal ours. Otherwise we need to have an import tax that would equal the difference if we are going to protect our manufacturing base. We need to reinstate the Trade Readjustment Act, also.

trade agreements

Caramel,

        I agree with you completely on the trade agreements. NAFTA has had a huge negative impact on our country, no company is ever going to produce anything in America anymore when they can pay a Canuck or Mexican far less.
