There’s Another Mammoth Global Trade Agreement You’ve Never Heard Of

4. I'm not sure that the Party of NAFTA and MFN China even has the vocabulary to address this.

How do you tell someone metro-Detroit that "free trade" is ok for what they do for a living, but not for what you do for a living? How do you frame the discussion? Fairness? Efficiency? Both of those suggest a consistency between how we compel workers to "compete!" with global labor--regardless if those workers' collars are blue or white. Instead, we find that everything is different this time, and that, somehow, White Collar jobs are worth protecting in a way that working people's jobs were not, and are not.

I don't even know how Democrats bring up this subject.
