Secret trade agreement between senior Democrats and Bush

I have just heard about this today, 15May07, and I am quite mad about this agreement.

1. Why secret? If this agreement is so good for middle class Americans, why not provide the text of the agreement? Why is the mainstream media reporting that this is a good agreement, with no details provided publicly?.
2. This country is moving in the wrong direction with respect to trade. Once the tariffs were dropped and the top marginal tax rates reduced, America started to and still is exporting manufacturing jobs. Thank you Ronald Reagan. The situation is so bad that we no longer make shoes, clothing, computers and once the Chinese cars start coming to America, automobiles. The cost of many of the imported goods is not less due to the reduced cost of manufacturing. Case in point: running shoes. Did the price of Nike shoes drop when manufacturing was moved to China? The prices, if anything, have gone up.
3. I cannot believe that Democrats would be a party to an agreement that will hurt workplace standards enforcement, one of the details talked about in the press. Once the government, and only the government can initiate workplace abuse investigations, there will be no workplace investigations or enforcement. The ability to report workplace violations is one of the ways the unions have to ensure the safety of its members on-the-job. In China, the company controls the unions. So enforcement actions can be stopped before the infraction is reported. If the inspector can be fired for doing his job, then he will do what the company wants. In the US, I believe that the Bush Justice Department will not initiate any action that will reflect poorly on any company that has ties to the White House.
4. I am sick and tired of the Republicans and some Democrats selling out the middle class with trade agreements that only help the extremely rich, the investment bankers (like Rhom Immanuel(sp?)), and the corporate raiders. NAFTA, CAFTA, the WTO all protect the interests of the international corporations, and ultra rich at the expense of the middle class.
   

I am laying down the gauntlet on these agreements. I will refuse to vote for anyone who votes for, or approves of these agreements. Even if this means a defeat for a Democrat.
