CAFTA to the House
As Senator Dorgan (Dem-ND) put it on CAFTA's passing the Senate:
“CAFTA simply continues the failed trade policies of the past which have produced the biggest trade deficits in the history of the world and exported American jobs by the millions. It does nothing to improve the lives of workers in CAFTA countries or in the United States. In fact, it asks U.S. workers to compete with workers in countries where there are little or no worker or environmental protections in place, and where wages are as low as $2 a day.”
Right on senator! Too bad we're out of power. Welcome to the Democratic Party, folks.
