This point deserves to be made way more often.
People tend to go "trade deals are economically efficient, so they don't decrease employment!", but that's not true. They generally do decrease US employment in shitty jobs, while increasing efficiency. The global economy isn't Pareto optimal, and it ought to be possible to move those gains to the people who would otherwise be hurt.
