The South Korean government was able to exclude rice from the deal that is about to be ratified. Where we able to exclude anything? They said it would damage their rice farmers if they allowed US rice in as part of the Free Trade Deal.
What about the industry we allow to suffer and or kill by allowing cheap cars and electronics. I guess free trade is just a nice name.
Do our farmers even want or need to sell rice to SK? Maybe they don’t I really don’t know. But just the thought that we maybe making another bad deal makes me ill.
It’s hard enough for a union business to compete with a nonunion business. It’s even harder for an American business (union or not) to compete with cheap labor overseas. How can people be so stupid? Did we already forget about NAFTA? Wake up and smell the layoffs!
