Subject: free to take advantage of us



Pittsburg, Kansas
I have thought about that some and I agree it will cause prices to rise. Anytime we bring back mfg jobs at 25 dollars an hour replacing jobs at a fifth that it is sure to raise prices on those goods.

But I still believe overall that will not be such a bad thing. Putting more people to work here in good jobs I think will help the overall economy.

By and large I am for free trade. But I think we have had less than free trade with some of our trading partners. How about vegetable growers here that have to follow EPA rules supposedly to keep our veggies safe to eat yet we import vegies from Mexico with few if any safety restrictions? I do not know the entire answer to that question, but surely Mexico is getting an unfair advantage in situations like that. There needs to be acomodations for such unfair advantages.

I don't think "free trade" should mean "free to take advantage of us". Perhaps "equitable trade" would be a better goal.
