both members of the D and R Parties were instrumental in advancing "unfair free trade" and sending jobs to other countries with NAFTA (and Clinton signed that btw), GATT, CAFTA, MFN for China, etc.
I believe Americans need to hold accountable those that voted for or signed these pacts for free trade and we need to send them packing from DC. Some claim these agreements were illegal and not voted as treaties where 2/3 of the Senate was required for ratification. If such trade agreements that end up outsourcing our economy are not worthy of 2/3 Senate vote for ratification then what is?
It seems that our Congress is attempting to side step the US Constitution by not meeting the 2/3 requirement that is necessary for War Declarations and Treaties.
