Free trade is great when it's fair. What we have today is free movement of capital, semi-free movement of goods, and non-free movement of people. Not the best combination.
- CamperBob2 13y agoWell, we don't have free movement of capital, as any American citizen who has recently tried to open or maintain a foreign bank account can tell you. My US-based commercial bank account no longer even supports outgoing wires. So whatever's going on doesn't involve increasing economic freedom across borders. How has the average American worker done since NAFTA was passed? No complaints here. But NAFTA was ratified a long time ago. TPP is not NAFTA.
