Forget the DU created issues. How does Hillary not have an opinion on TPP?

106. NAFTA has severely harmed our economy.

I was born in this country. I am 72 years old now, and I remember what our country was like -pre-China, pre-Reagan, pre-NAFTA, pre-trade agreements.

We have gone downhill since we started the trade agreements. Technology has improved drastically, but our benefits from it are far less than they should be thanks to free trade.

Back in the early 1970s, i worked as a service representative for our phone company in the area in which I lived. That work is now done overseas. My service rep job paid well, required a good education and was interesting. Now most of that work is gone. Why can't people in other countries provide service to consumers in their countries and let Americans provide service to Americans. That makes sense. Having someone in India or the Philippines pretend they care about your service is just absurd and takes good jobs from Americans. We don't provide service representation to people from the Philippines or India. Why should they be answering our complaints and collecting our bills?

As Bernie Sanders points out, the real unemployment in the US is much higher than the official numbers indicate. We need more jobs. Our trade agreements have, each of them, taken jobs out of the US.
