13. This is such BS.
We will have these "free" trade agreements only if we get a little bit of training on how to sell hamburgers or say "Welcome to Wal-Mart".

Have you looked at the regulations for applying for this retraining? You, the unemployed, have to prove you lost your job due to the trade agreement. If the corporation says, no we sent our jobs to South Korea because we just love the climate. Too bad for you, no re-training.

A real Democratic President would never approve these misnamed "free" trade deals.

These trade deals are nothing but labor arbitrage agreements. That way a corporation only has to pay 2 cents an hour for child labor to make crap in South Korea and then sell it, tariff free, here in the US for 5 times the cost of making the crap.

American citizens are nothing but trade bait.
