90. Not wanting to sound contradictory, but THOSE free trade agreements aren't so bad
General Motors is not going to re-locate to Columbia or Panama, and the South Korean agreement works in our favor, since they already have virtual free import into our market.

The two trade agreements that were big-assed mistakes were Mexico and China. China especially. The free trade agreement with Mexico took 20 years to kill about 1/3 of American manufacturing, but the Chinese trade agreement, with their doctored currency, killed the remaining 2/3 in record time. Blew the American TEXTILE and TOY industries to hell in one or two years. There's nothing left of them.
