Objective of this Blog

It is my intention of posting items here that I find of interest to the general reader who has a concern for what is happening in the United States today. My view is from a left of center perspective. This is done with the knowledge that my sources or myself might be wrong. I will not print anything I don't have good reason to believe is true knowing that someone else may not agree.

Obama and free trade agreements

According to Public Citizen News from March/April of 2013, the US-Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that President Obama pushed and spoke highly of a year ago has not produced the benefits he said it would.
This agreement has "demonstrated the damage caused by yet another 'trade' agreement based on the model of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)".  Obama has been trying to "sell" these large trade agreements "with the same false promises".  Export growth to non-trade agreement nations has "exceeded US export growth to countries that are FTA partners by 38 % over the past decade".
