If you must have a multi-hundred page book outlining the agreement, then it ain't really Free Trade, is it?

If these agreements increase personal freedom by lowering government interference, is that a good thing? Are lower prices good? Is increased trade good for our economy? Jobs? Wealth? If not, why not?

Agreed. Much of what is claimed to be "free trade" is just a bunch of slogans. The truth lies in the small print, hundreds of pages of it.

There is a difference between freedom and anarchy. The existence of our Constitution does not take away from our freedoms, but rather protects them from the dangers of anarchy.
