The way I feel about these trade agreements is that trade will go on outside our borders anyway, whether we are involved or not, and that agreements like these at least give us a shot at protecting some of our interests.

The difficulty with this argument is that ‘US interests’ tend to become ‘US corporate interests’ and it all goes downhill from there.

However, it is refreshing to deal with a political issue on which reasonable people can differ, unlike so many wingnut vs. sane people issues.
