I like Cruz but I disagree on this. The American working class always gets shafted in these “free” trade deals.
What you say is true but it’s not the trade ‘documents’ that are doing the shafting, it’s the presidents who use them.
Similar to the argument that it’s not guns that kill people, it’s the people using the guns that kill people.
Ted is well aware that prior trade agreements have shafted American workers. But in his case there are American assets that other countries are begging for that would create millions of secure high-paying jobs for Americans. For example there is an ENORMOUS surplus in natural gas (NG) in the USA. Asia and Europe are begging for Americans to export their NG surplus as LNG. They will buy all they can get. But Obama will not let it happen, Ted Cruz most certainly will have LNG approved for export.
