Created by W.B. on October 22, 2011

End corporate welfare; turn the Free Trade Agreements into Fair Trade Agreements.

As of June 2011 the U.S. had a net trade deficit with eight of the 20 countries in Free Trade Agreements with the U.S. Our net trade deficit with those eight countries was $201,819,820,690; which includes the $133,412,629,176 with China. At the end of June 2011 the U.S. had a global net trade deficit of $339,211,032,311. The 12 countries that we have trade surpluses with total $25,634,214,006, this is almost $10 billion less than our total net deficit with Mexico ($34,441,026,369).
