I like your links. In a nutshell then, I like stronger environmental and worker protections, dislike the loophole in drug pricing, and the burden of a global economy placed on the poor.

Trade agreements, by their nature are problematic, as they deal with multiple countries, each with their own trade cultures and trade law. The United States has to have trade agreements, is one thing, and as President Obama has said, it's better for our country to have a strong say in what is acceptable, and what is not. We are not going to rip it down and start all over, trade agreements contain delicate negotiations that can take decades, and are never, ever going to make everyone happy.

The trade agreement I think is a disaster is CAFTA--pitting one poor country against another. The further down South America you go, the lower the GPA. I'm not sure how go about fixing it either.
