Do you know anything about what that treaty says? If so, can I see your source?

While that may be true, it still reduced the protection of American textiles. So what is there is not the best, but it is a lot better than the restriction we have now - is it not?

Why do you think that?

My understanding is that this has nothing to do with the treaty. With or without the treaty the administration is tightening the eligibility requirements. Why they are doing this I don't know. I am not going to make assumptions. But this is a separate issue from free trade and CAFTA.

That blog seems to think it's part of the treaty.

Yes letting congressman who are not really for free trade anyway, try and attach "labor protection amendments" is really going to help. Thats like having having Henry Hyde get his say on a contraceptive bill. Not really productive.

And then there are Democrats who are pro-free trade. Like me. You never want to talk about us.
