Senate grants Obama big win with fast track trade authority

It is import duties imposed by third world countries that cause american goods to be expensive. Believe me, from personal experience, poor people from other countries wish they could buy american goods. It is the import duty that causes most of the expense. If this trade deal eliminates some of these duties, it is a very good deal. Is that still fascism? I will never understand some peoples use a term I would more properly apply to people like Putin.

The country I visited had all imported goods priced extremely high. You cannot purchase a battery powered box fan for less than $240 USD there.

So the China fan is sold for $240 and the American fan is sold for $250 let's say in that country. The american fan automatically becomes cheaper than the China fan when you remove import duties on certain american goods in exchange for similar concessions on the American side for the raw materials this country produces. It would probably hurt the mining industry in america but it would lower the price of all goods produced from these raw materials. I cannot see what harm free trade does except harm non efficient industries.Edited by foreveryoung, : No reason given.
