Sen. Sanders:The U.S. now has more low-paying jobs than any other major country on earth. Morality?

26. FDR died in 1945.

And I know your comeback here, because I found this thread from last year~

I'm with Brentspeak.

"Now you're even making up stuff about the same Pew poll you posted, claiming -- without any reason -- that FDR would have supported today's corporate-written "free trade" agreements of NAFTA, CAFTA, and KORUS. FDR supported trade in general, not lobbyist-overseen deals to create your beloved job-offshoring.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt was authorized by the Act for a fixed period of time to negotiate on bilateral basis with other countries and then implement reductions in tariffs (up to 50% of existing tariffs) in exchange for compensating tariff reductions by the partner trading country. Roosevelt was also instructed to maximize market access abroad without jeopardizing domestic industry, and reduce tariffs only as necessary to promote exports in accord with the "needs of various branches of American production.".

Therefore, FDR's trade policy was the opposite of today's free trade agreements, which are authored deliberately to relocate domestic industry to overseas facilities and which are not required at all to consider domestic American production."
