Seems Obamas Jobs czar is still hard at work, employing the rest of the world. If he was truly concerned about America, He , or Obama would've blocked this piece of crap

Not that I'm a big Obama fan (far from it), but after skimming that article, it sounds like we are increasing exports. Maybe I should take a minute tomorrow to read it over more carefully, but as of now, it sounds like a good idea...

Every other trade agreements, NAFTA, And the World free trade agreements with china, india, and pakastan, were supposed to increase exports. In the end, and still ending, they increased outsourcing and loss of American jobs. Not saying the Americans that broker the deals have devious designs on our way of life, But manufacturers and corporations, where the Jobs czar comes in, will exploit the loopholes to gain without paying minimum wages. The countries we broker these deals in have no minimum human work rights. I work at a warehouse for a Temp agency, I see everything that comes in from the east coast, at least most from the savannah ports. What i can't tell you is what gets exported, but i see about 300 trailers coming from that port. Sorry, but i can't see anything from us that is worth exporting on that level. I am talking about one warehouse, I know there are other warehouses, so Exactly how off balance is the export to imports. I think we need a new direction to save our country

In terms of export the dollar doesn't quite benefit from the 'dropping' euro. Same problem with Switzerland; prices increased with 20 percent+ for us europeans to buy something from Switzerland, due to the currency inflation.

I don't know about Columbia or Panama, but I defintiely would not say that about South Korea. Obviously you have never been there.

I will not bring up any other point of your argument, because quite honestly, I agree with you. I understand your frustration with our current gov't, but I warn you not too paint with such a broad brush. Its just makes you look like a crazy sheeple rather than an person with an intelligent point to make.

My point is, that every trade agreement we go into, we think it will be good for our exports. In reality, it seems to benefit the other partners. With china holding it's currency down, so their exports are cheaper than ours. I just think we need less trade agreements and more tariffs, could bring back some American jobs. And I do know, Not every country is like China or india. I just don't think we need another agreement that can and will eventually be exploited by our new partners

The United States make trade agreements and never lives up to them their has been numerous time the W.T.O ruled the U.S. violated the agreements they have made with foreign countries.But to be honest these trade agreements are for billion dollar companies and not the citizens of the United States.

I may have said it wrong, about other countries taking advantage. I do agree that Corporate America has taken advantage and are profiting
