Trade is often used as a reward for those countries we like or want something from...a tool for foreign policy with no consideration of the effect on the economy or American business.

Ain't the the truth. I've heard it said that our trade policy is our number one foreign aid program. Lot's of truth to that, and it accounts for some significant part of our ever growing trade deficit, and loss of industries.

Agreed...I wish Obamam would support US business, but I fear like all the modern presidents despite his big trade talk that won the Mid West, he is a globalist.
