I love how regressive Dems say trade agreements will exploit foreign workers. That's a half truth, and they never admit the other half, which is that after the cheap labor has been "exploited," establishing an industrial base in tthe growing nation, a working and middle class will be born, and unions will spring up and the cost of labor will rise. See: India. The Dems seem to be saying "lets never help these developing nations because for a period of time at the outset, workers there will be exploited."
Why don't they try being honest and saying "We oppose such trade agreements because they take American jobs, and more importantly, they take the jobs of my voting base."
The Dems should be happy. By favoring these trade agreements, the GOP is creating a huge pile of angry blue collar voters for the Democrats.
