We are talking about free trade agreement, not ree trade in general. What free trade agreements have cost these people these jobs? Was there some law that prevented companies from setting up factories overseas that was repealed by some free trade agreement I was not aware of?

Is free trade a net benefit for the economy as a whole? I think so. Are there people who disproportionately benefit from it, and are there people who disproportionately suffer from it? I think so. Should we try to pass laws that spread the pains and gains? Again, I think so. As an aside, I would argue that the current Administration cares more about using free trade as a club against unions and environmentalists than it does about free trade.
