Sec. Kerry is now touting a trade agreement with the EU saying the US economy can pull Europe from its economic doldrums.

As we have just seen the disaster in Cypress, Greece, Spain & Ireland, does the US need greater exposure to the coming Euro problems in Italy, etc.? Do we need low wage competition from Hungary, etc.?

Oh, the answer: NO MORE FREE TRADE DEALS THAT SCREW U.S. WORKERS.

It's being called NAFTA on Steroids and being written in secret.

This Summer it's to be unveiled to be voted on. Imagine it will be one of those "done in the dead of night" votes. We will wake up and find out the details slowly over weeks ...when it will be too late to do anything about it.

It's been posted about here...about the secrecy...but the posts are gone very quickly into the archives. There's little interest.
