Free Trade is A Win-Win Proposition

Free trade was portrayed Tuesday by John McCain as a win-win proposition for the U.S. and its Latin American economic partners. However, labor leaders said it has been a big loser for Rust Belt voters. Indiana and Pennsylvania are two states that have been hit hard by the loss of manufacturing jobs partly due to trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement between the U.S., Mexico and Canada. They are not particularly happy with this agreement. Can you blame them?
