Paul Ryan on the need to engage in the world economy, and spur jobs in America
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
If you're standing still in a global economy -- that means you're losing and slipping behind. Colombia is a no-brainer. We already give them open access to our economy. We don't have open access to their economy -- this agreement would achieve that. These trade agreements give us a better deal relative to where we are today. That will help us export our products. 97% of the world's consumers live outside the United States. We've got to be able to make things in America and export them abroad if we are going to have a prosperous economy.

`NAFTA has been used to whipsaw American workers' wages&benefits under the THREAT of job loss. NAFTA hurt the Mexican people because it was written with specific provisions to exclude workers' right to organize&to benefit from wages levels above those of SLAVE labor. NAFTA destroyed family farm subsistence in Mexico&caused a SURGE in ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION to the U.S. OBAMA SHOULD WITHDRAW OUR country from NAFTA&ALL FREE TRADE PURSUITS BECAUSE WITHOUT A MIDDLE CLASS THERE CAN BE NO DEMOCRACY.

I'm pro free trade but the reality is that it doesn't always work. When you have countries that have a vastly different socioeconomic status, they don't trade fairly with us. . China has for decades been unfair trade partners, it has cost us millions of low tech manufacturing jobs that we need for our people that aren't capable of academic success. And China isn't the only one. We have to be realistic about trade, free trade is a great ideal but it's a two way street. . FAIR trade...

Trade itself does not destroy America. Free exchange creates wealth for all parties in the exchange. The more free people exchange, whether within this country or outside this country, the more wealth is created. Fix the trade agreements to allow all parties to freely enter into any exchange they want.
