Why all the fuss over these trade deals?
Wouldn't it just be so much simpler to just say....hey, here's what I have for sale, what have you got? Why do we need a deal, a law, to say something as simple as, "OK, let's buy and sell stuff to these people."
it not that simple, some countries want the ability to sell their goods on a large u.s. market, yet do not want u.s. goods sold on their smaller market.....among other things
this is nothing new...under the articles of confederation, states were warring with each other over commerce...been going on for a very long time.
