As Democrats Stymie Free Trade Initiatives The European Union Takes Advantage

We’re missing the boat on free trade, thanks to people like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, and our foreign trade competitors are taking advantage.

Last Friday, Canada and the European Union held the first talks toward an eventual free trade agreement between the two.
When this goes through, $27 billion in new trade is expected by 2014, according to a joint EU-Canada study. . . .
Colombia is also preparing to sign a free-trade deal with Europe, as its own free-trade accord with the U.S. languishes after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blocked it in Congress last April.

Democrats are in bed with Big Labor, and Big Labor is all about protectionism.
The Democrat are putting what their big-money backers want above what’s best for the country.
