Every other trade agreements, NAFTA, And the World free trade agreements with china, india, and pakastan, were supposed to increase exports. In the end, and still ending, they increased outsourcing and loss of American jobs. Not saying the Americans that broker the deals have devious designs on our way of life, But manufacturers and corporations, where the Jobs czar comes in, will exploit the loopholes to gain without paying minimum wages. The countries we broker these deals in have no minimum human work rights. I work at a warehouse for a Temp agency, I see everything that comes in from the east coast, at least most from the savannah ports. What i can't tell you is what gets exported, but i see about 300 trailers coming from that port. Sorry, but i can't see anything from us that is worth exporting on that level. I am talking about one warehouse, I know there are other warehouses, so Exactly how off balance is the export to imports. I think we need a new direction to save our country
