Should we have Free Trade?
« on: September 14, 2011, 05:03:00 PM »
From an article I was reading, some include:

PROS
•Free trade increases sales and profits for U.S. businesses, thus strenghtening the economy
•Free trade creates U.S. middle-class jobs over the longterm
•Free trade is an opportunity for the U.S. to provide financial help to some of the world's poorest countries


CONS
•Free trade has caused more U.S. jobs losses than gains, especially for higher-wage jobs.
•Many free trade agreements are bad deals for the U.S.
•Workers in other countries are being exploited and harmed.
•The environment in other countries is being defiled.

-Not so sure...
