CAFTA

eta: Spanky, I will respond to your CAFTA post, but I'm about to watch a DVD, so it will have to wait. The basic point, is that you are confusing free trade with the libertarian fantasy of a common-law regime in which all of the social legislation of the late-nineteenth and twentieth centuries are rolled back. The rest of us understand that a foreign government can subsidize its own businesses by failing to enforce labor or environmental laws providing basic protections. When our companies try to compete with those companies, they do so on an uneven playing field.
But businesses support this, so it must be good.
