Likewise, free trade does not, as evidenced in CAFTA, mean fair trade.

If you consider that a typical Central American consumer earns only a small fraction of an average American worker's wages, it becomes clear that CAFTA's true goal is not to the increase U.S. exports.

The biggest share of U.S. exports to the six CAFTA nations is not the traditional job-creation kind. These are products that are not consumed in the purchasing nations.

Trade reform has also been linked to increased income disparity as skilled workers have captured more benefits from globalization than their unskilled counterparts.

Free trade should not mean free labor.

I am told that the clinical definition of insanity is the tendency to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.
