Hoping Warren and the country can help it happen.

I think free trade is good in some instances. It's helped a lot of farmers.

I don't think it's always terrible.

However the bottom line is it benefits rich corporations more than US workers.

I think if we start sinking trade agreements it will be a shot across the bow of companies that if they want their trade deals then
they are going to have to start raising US salaries. If they do not give the voters what they want, a bigger share of the pie, then we won't give them the trade deals.
