"Free trade" is the kiss of death for our economy

Patrick Kellen over atEconomyInCrisis.org says, "If an enemy was seeking to hire someone to destroy America he might have hired the political leaders who created [free trade agreements]." Mr. Kellen explained that trade organizations like the WTO and agreements like NAFTA, which promised to reduce trade barriers, have proven Ross Perot's "giant sucking sound" to be correct. And, "the pending unholy trinity of trade agreements - the TPP, TTIP and TISA" threatens whats left of our manufacturing base. These agreements kills jobs here at home, and they take international trade, banking and finance out of our control. If these three massive trade agreements are signed in to law, nearly every aspect of our economy will be controlled by foreigners. And, our lawmakers may soon vote on these agreements without even knowing what they contain. These trade agreements are considered top secret to us and our representatives, but corporate lobbyists have been given full access. These job killing "free trade" agreements have crippled US jobs and allowed corporations to move their companies to less regulated production facilities abroad. Call your representatives and tell them to say "no" to these trade agreements once and for all.

Most of our assets are already controlled and owned by other countries. China is most likely the largest owner , and the middle east countries would be way up there. These were arranged 5 years ago in the Obama administration. Get my drift?
